Drowning

I’m drowning in my own self-pity, When I feel this low, things just aren’t pretty, But I don’t want you to feel sorry for me, I’ve had enough of your sympathy, I just need some time to straighten things out, I need to see what my life is about. I’m drowning in my own excuses, When I can’t give you reasons, I just feel useless, But I don’t need your justifications, I’ve had enough of your explanations, I just need a moment to sort out this mess, I need a minute for my thoughts to digress. I’m drowning in this chaos I’ve made, When I feel this confusion, I just want to fade, But I don’t want you to fix my commotion, I’ve had enough of your ‘make it right’ potion, I just need a second to float above the rim, I need the chance to learn how to swim
