I'M Drowning
I'm drowning deep within my thoughts.
My heart tries to reach out to the mind.
Yet the blood circulation cant reach the mind.
There's rain in my eyes, my finger turns into an umbrella.
My ears hear the whispering of the mind, You drowning.
My nose smells the unwanted feeling of death
My mouth speaks the words of survival.
The sound of my feet says it's, not your feet, it's your knees. My eyes quickly look down, the mind says it's my knees, I'm drowning.
Knees down, the thought of prayer comes to mind.
Lord don't let me drown. My ears hear "you've been saved"
I'm rising, the soul has been purified. I'm not drowning.
"Let it not be" but said the drowning, it was the rising of him. Let it not be. I'm drowning.
