The Deep
June 2, 2017
So
Lost
Wandering, in the deep
Drowning, trying to keep
Head
Above
The waves that crash
And slam me down
Over
And
Over again, until someone
Distracts, saves me from
This
Losing
Battle that I’m fighting
The victory has come
But
I’m
Still wandering in the
Deep, and when I
See
You
I feel like I
Could maybe, just maybe
Be
Pulled
In, with a steady
Hand on my waist
Could
You
Be my mortal guide
Help me overcome this
Choking
Problem
That feels too scarring
To ever repair.
You
Are
A hope I have
For happenings in my
Life
And
I hope you know
How much I care
I
Hope
That my time is
Not wasted as I’m
Drowning
In
The deep sea of
The things I keep
To
Myself.

I wrote this piece out of a dark time in my life. My life hasn't been the easiest, and with anxiety disorder added to it, it makes things a little more complicated. I wrote this poem to describe my circumstances and also what anxiety feels like to me, which is drowning. There is also a person in my life who gives me hope for a lot of things, and I wrote this as sort of an ode to them.
