Still I Hope

This is a poem I wrote after a particularly creepy real dream I had.

I'm drowning,

In a pool,

of misery.

Forgotten by those around me,

The harder I try,

to pull myself out, 

the deeper I become.

Alone in the Darkness.

People pass by,

No one stops to help.

When will someone notice.

When will they see I'm losing air.

When will they rescue me.

Still I hold to hope,

It's all I have.

One day the light will shine,

A hand will descend.

It will pull me out,

Embrace me,

with love so tender.

 I know this will happen,

Because I still hope.
