Drown

By Angie NP

I can’t do it anymore

You’ve stretched me farther than I can

I keep biting my lip and hoping that you’ll notice that I'm not okay

I wait patiently

I don’t tap my foot as I watch the months and years go by

I sit there cross legged waiting and waiting but you don't seem to notice

I’m screaming now and you still can’t hear me

I know you can hear me though

And I know you can see it

It is tangible

Wake up and see that were all drowning here

Why can’t you all open your eyes and say 

“I'm sorry I can't be with you right now. I'm here for you”
