Drowning

Feeling like she couldn’t breathe
Everything hurt and she 
Couldn’t understand why.

Feeling like there was 
no one in this world that loved her.
Feeling all alone, no one around.

She was trapped. She was drowning.

She tried to scream, but
Her cries were muffled
From the waters she was drowning in.

It shouldn’t be so hard.
She tried to hold on.
But there was so much pulling her down.

Her heart didn’t want to feel
this pain anymore.
The agony.
Her head was exploding 

Letting go felt like her only choice.
