How Do I Live

How do I live since the plaqued of calamity bound me like straight jacket making me unproductive and immobile. My heart echoing my cries and tears saturated my face like perspiration. I am sinking in the sea of despair and where is my buoy. How can I rescue my self from drowning in the ocean of misery. My body emerges in the body of water, but my head float on top - giving me hope that I might not drown at all. But, fear has paralyzed me from swimming; thus, I am stagnant. How do I swim to shore to success when I am immobilized from terror. How do I save my self when my extremities are lifeless... but the desire in my heart to be rescued is strong. But who is going to save me from drowning, is it me or someone else?
