Sinking
Adrenaline races to her heart
As air escapes her lungs
Her mind is being torn apart
Her life cannot be done
She counts out her last breath
And counts out her frustrations
She curses the great blue depths
And curses life's expectations
She fights the weight tugging at her
She fights for her own whim
She fights the tempting urge
To simply, weakly give in
The road to freedom is not in sight
She is sinking in a worn out trail
She tries to stray with all her might
As she lets her pen set sail
