S.O.S.

S.O.S.

A Poem by Sierra Erway

Save me now, for I am falling.
Falling away, within myself.
My thoughts have captured my being
and reeled me in with them.
This is a fight I fear I am losing
and there's no sign of help...
I will have to be my own help-
but I can't...
I am not strong enough.
I try to overcome these thoughts and feelings
but they are too much, too great...
They envelope me and suffocate me.
But then they cease and release me.
And then come back again-
On and off. On and off. On and off
A constant flickering switch I cannot seem to find,
Lost in depths I am afraid to explore.
For where I am now, I'm standing on the edge'
surrounded by the ghosts of my memories and lost dreams.
I keep searching for something to hold on to; for something to hold me up...
But it's no use, everything I have an opportunity to grasp always slips away...
Fading to dust and blowing away before my eyes...
Waring my soul away and breaking me from the inside out.
For now, i am balancing on the edge of this internal hell...
Anticipating the moment I am pushed away'
never to return...

That was amazing!!! I thought you were peering into my soul and showing its darkest secrets to the world. I got a little lost when the word "but" was used too many times try different transition words and this will be excellent .
