Every Moment

by Emily   Jun 20, 2005


Searching in a sea
Drowning in the dreams
weighed down by the nightmares
suffocated by the screams
depression pulling you under
icy thoughts replace air
you can't breath one more breath
death seems to already be here
You reach up to grab a rope
that's not really there
You scream an endless scream
that nobody can hear
Nobody to help you breath
No raft to save you
No hand to help you up
Nothing to hold on to
You left without a legacy
No mark at the end of the ladder
No point in your life
Make every moment matter

Boy, did I write this long ago.

    The message in this I think is divine. So many people take life for granted. To often people say there's always tomorrow. There's not and you have to live life to the fullest. Excellent write...I think in so little words you portrayed a message people can't in a book. The sense of drowning puts such a twist on the poem...a double meaning I think. Drowning in the thoughts of the life you didn't live.... I liked the sudden stop to the story also...it made "Make every moment matter" stand out so much more clear. Another excellent write....I'm going to add you to my favorites. I'll be looking for more. :)
