Drown
Carly Unsinn 2009 (OK)
Drowning in my thoughts and fears
No one ever sees or hears
Not a single person to help
Because they don't know the way I've felt
Something in the water makes me have hope
Or maybe that's just the way I cope
Thinking about how much I have cried
But nothing seems to satisfy
If only they could see my thoughts
Would they know how much I've fought
S.O.S is all they've got
Well that's what I've been taught
These words are from other people that I hear
But I haven't felt this way any of my years
About this poem
So this poem isn’t based off of how I feel, I just like to write sad poems. This poem is about how I see some other people are living or how they might think. I feel like this poem might be how some people feel so I just made it.
