Okay, I'm not going to offer anyone a Big Mac, but can you name the author of this line of poetry?
Nobody heard him, the dead man
But still he lay moaning:
I was much farther out that you thought
And not waving but drowning.
... I was much too far out all of my life
And not waving but drowning.
This poem always reminds me of hopelessness and depression. People mask it by getting involved in drugs or some other form of escapism and others do not recognize their cry for help. They are not waving. They are drowning.
