Sinking
I’m falling into a pit with no solid ground
sinking in deep waters and about to drown.
I’m afraid I will be overcome by the waves,
my throat aches from calling out to be saved.
I don’t know where to go or who to turn to.
I'm hurt and confused and don’t know what to do.
Just so worn out from all this crying,
my strength is gone, and I feel like I’m dying.
I’m crushed and broken like pieces of clay,
a puff of wind could blow me away.
My heart feels like it’s been pierced with a blade,
there’s not much feeling left in me I’m afraid.
I need someone that can understand
and come and lend a helping hand
to maybe put me back together again.
I must hold myself together and survive until then.
