drowning in the dark

i’m drowning

in a dark dank pool

it’s black cold hands

clutch and grab at me

holding and pulling me down

deeper and

   deeper

until all light fades



grey shadows surround me

watching

watching with gleaming eyes

and laughing grins

as i struggle to break free



once in a while

a shadow leans in to

‘help’

they gently take my frozen hand

as hope blossoms

and light begins to shine



start to pull me out of the stifling darkness

then suddenly

with a harsh laugh

release me to tumble back into

the stagnant water

where i sink

deeper than before



the shadows laugh

at my desperate plight

as

i sink faster

to the

bottomless depths of depression

no air no light no feeling

just numb

      as my scarred fragile heart

shatters into tiny pieces

in the end

i wonder

why everyone leaves me?
