Drowning in my Sorrow

The fingers pointed at me

Drowning in my Sorrow

I was drowning in my own sorrow

As everyone pointed the finger at me.

My heart lost in a roaring sea

Of emotion, repeated over and over,

“I didn’t do it.”

I would do anything for love,

But no, I would never do that.

Caught in a storm I couldn’t tame,

A battle between truth and shame.

They couldn’t hear the cries in my chest,

The weight of their judgment—a heavy test.

I stood alone, drowning in doubt,

they asked of secrets, they knew nothing about.

Love, I thought, was supposed to heal,

But in this darkness, I couldn’t feel.

Yet deep inside, I knew my heart

Ached with the truth, though torn apart.

I would do anything for love,

But no, I would never do that.

Still, in the silence, I held my ground,

A soul misunderstood, yet one who didn’t drown.
