Treading. by ~ScionOfLove:iconScionOfLove:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Free & Blank Verse


You're lost in a sea of insults,
Swimming in hate, worthlessness, and spite.
The shore never draws near.

Overhead hang dreams, wishes, a shooting star.

You kick out your frenzied legs, as your heart feels like it'll explode,
struggling to the surface of the water,
and your arms reach high,

but when will you know if you're touching the sky?




The mirror never has an answer.
looking into those eyes,
is the same black sea,
but it seems like a storm has kicked up.

it's a very small comfort, that he's got it worse off.

Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. “ Pooh!” he whispered. “Yes, Piglet?” “Nothing,” said Piglet, taking Pooh’s paw. “I just wanted to be sure of you.”~A.A. Milne

I love the rhythm of that final line. It sounds almost satirical. :D
