Drowning

Dark Words

By Mike Singleton ๐Ÿ’œ Mikeydred Published 2 years ago โ€ข 1 min read

Introduction

How I have been feeling recently. Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything stupid and I need to write things like this to clear my bad feelings. I sometimes wish I could talk about it, but I can't burden others so I use poetry to unburned myself.

I think it's quite funny that I am using a sonnet, which I often use for love poems, to write such dark words.

The music is "Drowning" by The Beat.

Sinking Down, I Don't Have Much Longer

In The Darkest Depths There I Will Drown

They Will Say "He Should Have Been Stronger"

My Tears Still Flowing As I Sink Down

๐ŸŒŠโœ๏ธโšฐ๏ธโœ๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

They Pushed Me Away And Broke My Heart

But Told My That I Was Really Loved

I Was Made To Feel I Should Depart

So Into Dark Waters I Was Plunged

๐ŸŒŠโœ๏ธโšฐ๏ธโœ๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

When I Am Gone There Will Be No Return

Spiralling Down To Hit The Bottom

Hell's Fires'll Take Me Forever To Burn

My Failure Will Not Be Forgotten

๐ŸŒŠโœ๏ธโšฐ๏ธโœ๏ธ๐ŸŒŠ

And When They Think I Am Dead And Gone

They'll Have Me To Blame When Things Go Wrong
