Untitled


I can hear you scream my name

from the shoreline of my watery grave

but I can't answer your call

because I'm drowning in the darkness

and I can't see your hand

but even if I could

I'd die a little more 

because I know you'd pull it up

right before I'd be able to reach it

Hello everyone, I'm a young girl from Illinois. I have a lot of things that run through my mind, and writing helps me express all the emotions that I always have bottled up inside.
