Drowning in my tears

by ¤©h€€®ƒüll¥♥©¥ñ!c@l¤   Jan 25, 2005


How did I get here?
In this eternally continuing sea
What are these handcuffs?
I want to get set free!

I’m losing my breath
I’m slowly drifting away
Searching for the surface
How did I get this way?

Like the tentacles of an octopus
My hair is swimming around my face
Like static cling in all directions
Tangling and interlaced

Without realizing it, I’m drowning
Drowning in my own regretful tears
Slowly killing me in these surroundings
Bringing out my inner worst fears

My fears of drowning and
Of dying a treacherous cause
I want to be back home again
I want to be back where I was

A hand reaches down wavers back and forth
I will finally be home again, I finally will be free
A huge breath of air is taken, just in time
Someone has finally come to save me.

    The whole poem was wonderful but unlike everyone else instead of loving the end line solely i focused on the 2 stanzas in the center, i thought that was so creative and wonderfully written! great work *5

    woah! exellent job!!!!!!! great poem. like 'missy' i can very much relate to your poem. i love the way you related the image ofthe entanglement of your hair when drowning, what a great yet scary image. that is one of the most promonent sort of image that comes to mind while in water/'drowning'. as in one of my own poems, 'im packing for heaven i guess' as i was describing the image of drowning in a bath of tears i also used a vision i saw from through my hair. GREAT MINDS THINK ALIKE! hehe. thanks for the comments! they are always appreciated, and improvements put in place. thanks.
