Drowning (B0y G3nius Original Poem)

I feel so alone

Even when I'm surrounded

As I stand in the middle of a crowd

I see hundreds walk by

And still there is a feeling of loneliness

It feels as if I'm the only one left

The lone survivor of a bloody massacre

My cries for company are not heard

They must not be able to see me

Or maybe they just ignore my presence?

Such an essence of doubt in the air

As I fall through clouded thoughts of misjudgment

I straight drop into a sea of anguish & depression

Of self-loathing & resentment

Trying hard to fight against the waves of indifference

But my heart is pulling me under

Filled to the brim with disdain

My hatred & pain forever growing

All alone is this soul of mine

Even sips of fine wine couldn't knock me from sobriety

Nor variety of any drug

I must swim harder to survive

Just long enough to keep me alive

But my efforts seem to be futile

The weight of my despair is too unbearable

It drags me under, under, under

Until my last gasp of air has escaped me…
