Screaming For Release

There is a shadow upon me as if my eyes are tightly closed. My heart grows 
weak as it aquiesces to the cold.

In this world of dreams I haven't felt in so long, as my lungs begin to burn as if I'm 
drowning in the ocean.

Lost in a sea of all that I've become, the frigid waters of Conformity have left me 
llifeless and numb.

Gasping for breath, I scream for Release.

I seek for the shore which has so far eluded me.

These waters have stripped me, leaving me writhing in pain.
They have taken all I am,

My face,

My name...
