Drowning in the pool of despair. #poem

Gloria Penelope

When life hits hard, the feeling can be frightening; troubles and stress can drive your thoughts too far. You can feel like you're drowning within the pool and struggling to swim out. That is the moral of this poem. I made this video following a poem I published on Vocal Media.  https://vocal.media/poets/swimming-in-the-pool-of-despair

00:00I've been swimming in the pool of despair, struggling just to keep my head above the water.

00:07Darkness surrounds me, every step I take is like wandering blind in an endless night.

00:14Nothing makes sense anymore. I'm feeling utterly puzzled, searching for a sign.

00:23Sometimes I feel like I've drowned forever in my own silent tears, with no one to pull me out.

00:30I've tried, truly tried, so many times to discover who I really am beneath the pain.

00:39Each failed attempt leaves me feeling like my mind is shattered into pieces I can't pick up.

00:46Again, I find myself swimming in the pool of despair, where hope seems to be far away.

00:52It's as if, I'm stuck deep underwater, I can't breathe, the weight of depression and sadness is pressing my chest.

01:03Above me, a dark cloud lingers, threatening to eclipse even the faintest light in my soul.

01:10My thoughts scatter like feathers in a storm.

01:15I am broken within, lost in longing.

01:19I look in the mirror and see only a shadow.

01:22My mind, once vibrant, seems invisible now.

01:29Questions spin around me endlessly.

01:32Why am I here?

01:34Who am I supposed to be?

01:36The answers never come, leaving echoes of emptiness inside.

01:43And yet, a stubborn faith quietly glimmers, urging me not to let go.

01:51Despite the darkness, a small hope grows within.

01:55Maybe, just maybe, I could see the light.

01:58Nonetheless, I promised myself, that I will rise and strive for a better version of me.
