One person - that is All I am -


One person - that is All I am -

The Water welcomes me in

But I refuse to be Pulled under

Refuse - to be thought of as nothing

 

I may be One person -

I will go above the expectations - set for me

But the Water's hands are strong

Pushing and Pulling me down with words

 

She is One person - one soul

She is drowning - struggling to survive

The Sea of Expectations has trapped another

Down in the darkness of failure

 

She was - One person - that's all she was

She struggled to prove she was more

The Water pushed her into the darkness

I'm just a girl fighting to be someone in this world. Most of my poetry is from events that I have experienced or emotions I have felt.
