Drowning
I feel as though I'm drowning
in a non-existent sea
being thrown about by waves
that just wont let me be.
I try so hard to reach dry land
my breath to try and catch
but this tide is just too strong
for it I am no match.
This ocean keeps me choking
while it's hold gets ever tight
I feel as though I now exist
in some never ending fight.
But as this sea does drag me
into it's waters deep
I just add to what is drowning
with the rivers of tears I weep.
