Drowning me

by Anna   Jun 13, 2005


You drain me of all my energy
my smile is weary and yet you still don't see
am I selfish to want to save a part of myself?
is it wrong of me to think of my mental health?
you're drowning me in your weakness
drowning me in this sea of sadness
with its waves filling my lungs with poison water
none of you seem to notice
that as I keep you alive
I'm gradually killing myself
please stop with the forever questions
even your statements are questions
looking for my reactions
watching for me to show my feelings
moment after moment
day after day
please somebody help me
I can't take the full burden
there has got to be another way
