Drowning
I'm being pulled into the ocean
I'm bleeding while surrounded by sharks
I'm trying to swim to land
But I'm being outweighed by the pain that's drowning my heart
Lost and alone with no one trying to find me
I try to forget, bit depression taunts me daily to remind me
I'm not worthy, I'm not good enough, I can't, I won't
I just need someone to see something in me, even when I don't
I'm bipolar so my moods go up and down, I struggle with confidence
I need love and protection, it's not about needing compliments
I'm trying my best, but people always need more
My wounds are having a competition, to see how long they can bleed for
I make many mistakes, but I always try to put them right
It's so dark, I'd you haven't got a torch, at least, adjust the light
nightmares keeping me up at night
I always seek to just enough to survive
When it Came to love I was a mess at it
Sleeping around with many girls to try and feel less sadness
Using girls as a bandage is my best habit
I use that as an excuse, but it doesn't make it less tragic
I can't make everything right
But I'm going to rise from the water and spread my wings tonight
Giving up isn't an option, no matter how hard it gets
I'll find a way to pull through and move past all the pain that's hard to forget
