A Sonnet of Sorts
My heart is empty, and broken
My head is quiet and grey
The water is tearing me down and ensnaring
My murky life, filled with decay
I struggle to lift up my finger
As I lay my heavy head down
I’m frozen in fear, as I fade, disappear
as I sink, and I painfully drown
My life is the ‘center of perfect’
I’m talented, pretty, and smart
So I shouldn’t complain when my life seems ‘mundane’
Say’s the people who made me restart
I’m lonely when all the crowds gather
I’m crowded when just left alone
My thoughts in my head wishing that I was dead
I’m barren, stripped to the bone.
My life, still growing undaunted
Seems to shrink with the smallest offense
Can’t stay here on this plane, when the captains away
I should leave, before darkness commences.
