I wish I had carried a life jacket while sailing with you.
You swam away,
And here I am still drowning in the infinite ocean...
-
Drowning is an art
of learning to survive,
be it in water or in emotions.-
I'm lost and all alone
Drowning in the darkness of my thoughts...
I'm so scared & trying hard to come out of it...
But,
My body is tired of carrying the load of my soul...
& I can't come out of it anymore...-
What isn't poetry
is me sulking
in a corner.
Feeling all the time
that I am
a downer.
Or maybe,
it is poetry.
This constant frowning,
in the depths of my anxiety
where I am
drowning.-
Don't sink your books in ink
but do sink your books by inking.-
Drowning!
Uprooting my feelings,
Mourning upon individuality,
Shouting out for balance,
Whispering out to win,
Messing up with the sneezes,
While temperature is high,
Cranky out of period vibes,
Still breathing to slow down.
Battling to find self worth,
Kneeling upon the edges,
Bleeding to scratch out taglines,
Hopping around hopeless sight,
To enlighten my blues.-
What is our mental health,
if not
our strength crumbling down?
Our will to live going away
as we continue
to drown. — % &-
Who will save me
i am drowning beneath the waves
but dying because of the thirst
my hands approaching to the sky
but gravity is pulling me down
my mind is sunk in thoughts
but eyes are gazing for help
I am drowning in the world of lies
apart from my heart but close
to my eyes?-
If I could fly like a leaf,
I'll be the life-saving leaf
for the drowning insect.-
