Some days I feel like a drowning woman
But everyone thinks I’m waving hello
While I choke on the way
This darkness pulls me under
Sadness dwells with nothing to remedy
No company do I keep
alone in my melancholy
having a personality and soul
My sorrow weeps inside me
With a sweet lullaby
I cry myself to sleep
The tenderness within is hurting
Comfort comes, but it is fleeting
My blue is overwhelming
So I breathe in the black abyss
Hug myself back from the edge
But I alone still can’t kiss my tears
and make something beautiful
out of the way they fall
silent and alone
just like me
a sea of tears, and I’m drowning
There is an island of one
where I find refuge
Teach myself to swim
alone but not lonely
There is a quiet dignity
Silence doesn’t have to be disheartening
my weeping silenced
I’m not afraid of the dark
I’m afraid no one is willing
to brave its depths to come find me
to kiss my tears into crystalline jewels
That means something
anything
They are the depths of my healing
