I’m drowning in sorrow and all the missed, I missed so many
opportunities. How can I possibly find joy?
Small bits of life, of my
life, The good old times, Can send a quick second of happiness Running
through my body. But it never lasts.
It’s not enough. That
small sliver of light Doesn’t make up for all the dark
shadows Which encompass the entire room.
That small sliver makes the
surrounding shadows appear darker. It makes the misery seem so much worse,
so much more intense. I need a branch, something sturdy; not a sliver.
Maybe a large branch of light would overtake the shadows.
The
happiness doesn’t seem to overtake The pool of misery and depression
That I seem to be sinking in.
I need strength, I need to be
heard. People seem to only want to listen Once they see the colors,
Once the pain is visible.
I can’t just be there for them,
They need to be there, too.
Why don’t they understand this
isn’t some game. You cant just quit and leave me to keep on
going Its not the kind of thing that can be erased Abandonment is all
your good for.
Times change and people change But true friends are
supposed to always be there, To always care. They’re supposed to
continuously Listen and take action, Save me as I drown.
