i'm drowning
in all these disapproving looks
and the thoughts
the thoughts that slowly eat away
away at my mind
and my soul
and everything I am
~
i see you
you're there
not for long i have to
i have to catch you
you might leave me behind
you'll forget about me
please please please don't forget about me and please
please don't leave me here
~
i'm drowning
but you
you're there and you
you don't hesitate to pull me out
out of this dark place
this cave this,
this planet you bring me somewhere nobody has ever seen and i finally feel...
i finally feel something

Hello!

Ooooooooh I really like how you put the different parts in different shades of blue, it fits really well with the "drowning" parts =D
Ngl I'm really bad at reviewing poems, so I hope you will not want to run away screaming after you read this... XD
The first "sentence" kind of - not really a sentence - hm - sentence piece? - whatever!
"i'm drowning
in all these disapproving looks" I find really cool, because it somehow gives me flow vibes if you know what I mean, that fit really well with the drowning; and it's also just a good sentence - sentence piece - half sentence - idk - to start with, I think.
The beginings of each of the parts is also really well done: either you thought about it a lot, or you just have an instinct for it I guess! The first and last go "I'm drowning" and the middle one goes "I see you"; same amount of syllables! It really makes the poem sound good.
Oooh and each of the parts also has it's own kind of "theme" I think:

First one: 'me' - centered around the narrator, thoughts eating them away et cetera
Second, middle one: 'you' - I see you, please don't leave me, etc.
Third, last one: 'both/us' - I'm drowning, but you're there, etc.

I find that really cool too!
This looks like you put so much thought and energy into it, with every little detail, and it turned out really really good; so please keep writing!!!!!!!!!!!!! And thank you for sharing this :)
Have a wonderful day!

Poems were like people. Some people you got right off the bat. Some people you just don't get - and never would get.
