I am much further out
Than you think
So you don’t save me
Only remember the
Good times we had
Can you blame me
For wanting more
Than what we had?
Don’t want to slip away
From the land that is you
Please save me
From the river storms
Before I reach the ocean
Help me
Make the Angry thunder
Quiet
So I can sleep
Safely in your arms again
So I can cry
Without being taken away
From the land
That is you
I am much further out
Than you think
But I guess there’s still time
If I can just stop blaming me
For all the lives I’ve killed
On my river ride
And stop blaming you
For not seeing what’s behind!
(This poem is from an old collection of mine. It was written in 2003 and was the last poem written in my youth (from 1998-2003). Originally the drawing had a title ”Why don’t you want me?”, which reflected the deep feeling of neglect and loneliness I experienced through my youth).
