Drowning
Memories are strong
Reminding me how
Weak I am
At times they feel
Like a lifetime away
Tiny pieces of myself
Suspended in the
Dulling haze of
Time
Other times they reach out
And grab on to me
With the desperation
Of one helpless and
Drowning
Holding on for fear
Of disappearing
Without a sound
I try to run away
But the more I resist
The stronger their hold
On me
Until I am the one
Left helpless and
Drowning
Reaching out in desperation
For fear of disappearing
Without a sound
For fear of disappearing
Forever
