Drowning

Another Sliver of Dark Poetry

By Mike Singleton πŸ’œ Mikeydred Published 4 years ago β€’ Updated 4 years ago β€’ 1 min read

This is a dark poem for Dharrsheena. It is not how I feel. So here are my words. The music is "drowning" by The Beat.

Sometimes things really hit us hard, and lots of things are hitting me at the moment. I can deal with everything but some people cannot deal with things and they can become very lost.

I Fell Into The Darkest Waters

Maybe I Was Pushed By Some Unknown

Under Pressure, Lamb To The Slaughter

Then As I Drop I Am All Alone

πŸ–€πŸ’€

The Water Is Freezing, Cannot Breathe

Clothes Are Soaking, Darkness Does Abound

Currents Dragging, And The Currents Seethe

This Lake Is Deep, And There Is No Sound

πŸ–€πŸ’€

I Hit The Bottom, I Cannot Move

Silt Around Me, Water Black Not Blue

There’s No Escape,I Have Been Dragged Down

This Is My End, I’m Going To Drown

πŸ–€πŸ’€

Crushed By The Weight, As I Now Succumb

The Black Putrid Water Fills My Lungs

πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€πŸ–€πŸ’€
