Drown
I'm drowning
Its a ocean of emotionsÂ
That I no longer know how to handle
I want to be better
But at the same time is it better by my standards or yours
Am I seeking societies approval or mine
Am I truly lostÂ
Or is it lost by their expectations
I don't feel lostÂ
I feel numb
I feel like I am the only one who does for me
But at the end of the day
Am I not all I needÂ
I feel as if I amÂ
I no longer feel as if me being alone is enough
I can't keep hiding behind my musicÂ
Praying for someone to notice the pain inside of me
I need to speak up about how I really feelÂ
Instead of putting on this mask of someone who I am not
No more mask
No more lies
Today brings a new dawnÂ
And this dawn will be mine

Hi Cat, so many of us feel or have felt like this, this is a powerful write of confused emotions that is, it seems, the human condition...hugs ?
There are so many that hide behind a mask of fake smiles. Every single day they sit there hiding, crying into their pillows anonymously. And every single day people die from the illness that roots itself into the mind. You show such strength in this poem.
More and more sufferers are now speaking out about these dreadful illnesses (there is more than one type of mental illness) and that has got to help the cause. More people are listening, too, and the next thing is to get them to understand it. Â
I think your poem is wonderful. I think you are brave. And I thank you for posting this for us all to read x
