A Drowning Man - Transit Poetry

Can you free me like a carefree bird

From solitude, and from my sullen sigh

All I long for is some peace of mind

Just a little relief but I cannot fly

I’m drowning in desire

And I choke on the pain

Everyone just pulls me down

A deviant desire

And it seems all in vain

For good I’ll keep my frown

There is a drowning man with me

Escaping from the world

Of which I’ve never been a part

He’s dying in my heart

There is a drowning man with me

Sadly moves my world

It’s the dreary weary grief

That’s stealing my belief

Can you save me, with your tender arms

I’m searing alone, caught in an open cell

All humans hurt weights heavily on me

If I could just fly but I can’t even yell
