Roaring waves inside the wind...
Crashing in my mind again...
Lost at sea without a float...
Ill without an anecdote...
Shipwrecked now, and all alone...
Not even sighs or aching moans...
The silence is so hard to bear...
Can’t hear one sound- not anywhere...
Stinging smoke burning my eyes...
Can’t stand the silence- miss the lies...
Raging winds across the froth...
Hanging me upon a cross...
Throwing me ‘bout- to and fro...
I have no other place to go...
Breaking me from limb to limb...
Can’t let myself to think of him...
He makes me weak- I must be strong...
Though I’ve been out here way too long...
I’ve lost all hope- won’t find a sail...
No reason now to whine or wail...
Just let me fall and suffocate...
Won’t matter now... it’s way too late...
Just let me drown beneath the waves...
No use trying-
I can't be saved...

Are you OK?! This is so sad. Written beautifully, but terribly sad.

Very escalating poem. There's always hope, and you have the ability to save yourself, just look beyond the pain, and reach out to your friends who will always be there through all your trials and tribulations.

This is an extreamly sad, but also beautifully written poem. Remember, beyond the horizen, there is land in sight. May you find a peaceful island where you can heal.

These kind of times are tough....I know I have my own.  I'm just digging around the archives tonight.  Hoping all is well.
