Drowning

Do you ever feel as though you're drowning?
Caught in a riptide of emotions?

Do you ever lose sight of which way is up?
Spinning wildly out of control?

Do you ever feel as though you're the only one alive?
Or like you're a ghost among the living?

Do you ever cause pain to those you love when you're trying to help?
Like a fire that grew to large?

Well, I do.
I know how these emotions feel.
I wish I was the only one who ever had to feel this way
