Im Drowning

I'm drowning in the deep blue sea the water is swallowing me up making me go deeper and deeper. I cant breathe the water is in my nose my throat. I'm trying to scream for help but nothing comes out. I start to lose my breath getting tired of fighting certain that I will die soon. and you're standing 3 feet away screaming "LEARN HOW TO SWIM!"

I got inspired to write this poem because I have gotten bullied a lot before and had hardships at home. It seemed like this (the poem) was happening metaphorically. I was depressed, stressed, anxious.Sort of felt like I was drowning. I felt like no one loved me and no one cared for me (even if it sounds ridiculous). I was even considering bad things. Its a sensitive subject and I don't really want to talk about it anymore. But my bad past made me who i am today. Im thankful. it made me strong.
