I am part of the Undertow
Maybe it is just some odd wave of thoughts
Or maybe my head churning,
trying to comprehend what I can not understand.
Such a distraughting feeling of woe.
I am part of the undertow.
How did this come to be?
My life was just amazing with my family.
Outside, though, I felt alone and unwanted.
Completely foreign to those,
People lie, this I know.
I can see the lies through your teeth.
Should I be suprised?
Maybe I blame myself more than others.
They don't seem bothered.
I wish I knew what to do.
I wish I could tell you how your presence makes me feel.
It doesn't seem right.
I am just part of the Undertow.
For now.
I will grow out of this.
Easy to understand, a simple concept.
If I could, I wish some of you would know.
I am angry with those people, but I will never wish them harm.
This feeling I felt, I hope you will never know.
For now, I am in the undertow.
With a secret and a smile.
Maybe one day, I will see a hand to help me out.
