Okay, so, I'm under oath not to tell you wants wrong, so, long story short, my friends going through some things and I don't know how to help her. In a fit of angry confusion, I wrote this.

Drowning

Why is there so much sadness?

so much sadness that no one can cure

or even help

because the cause of it is untouchable

She's in so much pain

and I don't know what to do

because I know her fear

but I can't help her any more than

I can help myself

and it kills me that she's drowning like I am

because other people aren't supposed

to drown

And she's such a happy person

a happy person reduced

to tears

reduced to being

afraid and

sad

because of one person

It makes me so mad

that any one person

can make someone so happy so

sad

That anyone has that power is

wrong

and

unacceptable

but I can't do anything

nothing at all to help this girl

that isn't supposed to be sad

but is

And I need her to laugh but she

won't

because she

can't

because she doesn't

want to

and it's just

so

wrong

that

she's

drowning

like

I

am.
