Drowned

Drowned

Written by Amy Harvey in 2007, this poem offers more than meet the eye. The poem is actually an allegory. Its allegorical meaning is based on the true experiences of the author. Here the experience is given a different location, which aids indirectly in the poem’s explanation. This poem was created for personal reflection and healing. The author’s hope is that those suffering from abuse will find their voice and demand to be heard.
