Drowning


I'm running,
I think I can do it on my own this time,
I jump,
the water envalopes me,
I can't swim,
I can't breath,
I reach for the surface,
I break it,
I scream, "Help"
I sink back down,
I can't break the surface,
I can't reach,
I see hands,
above me and below me,
I reach for the hands,
she pulls me up above the water.....
i'm crying,
why can't she reach for me
like she did then?
Can't she hear me yelling,
does she see me struggling,
and trying to break the surface
like I did then,
I'm drowning
and I only see hands below
they've almost got me
and there are no hands above me
like the hands I saw back then
or any hands at all.
There's no one to help me out,
so how am I going to get out
of this deep pool
when I have no idea
how to swim.

तेअर्स falling

tears everywhere
falling everywhere
in different places
in our world
for different reasons
for different people
for sons & daughters
who won't be there to
not clean their room
not do chores
not fold their laundry
for father's and brothers
who won't be their to
talk
play catch
walk daughters down aisles
for mother's and sisters
who won't be their to
laugh with you
cry with you
find out about your baby
tears for the broken
the lost
the hurt
the mindless
and for the ones
who wish they would have been
left behind
for those have lost themselves
and can't find it
because its back where
they saw there friends
and other good people die.
Tears are falling
and they won't stop.
