Island in the Sea

I try to help

Everywhere I turn

Someone else is there

I feel obligated to stay,

Turning from person to person.

I never just push through the crowd

The sea of people never parts,

Never evaporates.

I used to swim,

Then I treaded water,

Now I'm too tired,

Now I'm drowning.

Drowning among the people,

The poeple I help,

No one notices but you.

You reach out ot help me up,

Now that I have you,

You help me keep adrift.

Thank you, for being my safety place.

For being my island in the middle of the sea.
