Drowning in Silence
‘Drowning in Silence’ inspired by Stevie Smith Not Waving but Drowning.
In deep waters, cries unheard,
Faces smiling, pain ignored.
Not waving, sinking below,
In silent depths, the hurt grows.
Misunderstood, lost in the sea,
Longing for someone to see.
On the shore, one hears,
The silent plea, the hidden fears
Drowning in silence, unseen,
Invisible struggles, unseen.
