Island in the Sea
I try to help
Everywhere I turn
Someone else is there
I feel obligated to stay,
Turning from person to person.
I never just push through the crowd
The sea of people never parts,
Never evaporates.
I used to swim,
Then I treaded water,
Now I'm too tired,
Now I'm drowning.
Drowning among the people,
The poeple I help,
No one notices but you.
You reach out ot help me up,
Now that I have you,
You help me keep adrift.
Thank you, for being my safety place.
For being my island in the middle of the sea.
