drowning

a poem by [tamara]

I woke up today drowning,
The tears are full and bounty
Bringing down my spirit
Crying so loud
My peers can’t hear me
Maybe I like to be alone
On my own
At home on the phone
Don’t stop me
From cockin’ it
Poppin it
I’m tired
Of drownin’ in it
A sea of depression
Anxiety and self-hate
I can’t seem to find the
Talent that makes me great
My head is a weight
I can’t push back up
I’m struggling to care
I wouldn’t like to be there
But I can’t leave
I pray my heart, my soul to keep
Instead of angels
I have demons
I can’t keep the light in.
