Under Water, Under Smoke
I feel pressure pushing into me.
It is coming from all sides.
I struggle to breathe and begin to gasp.
It's everything from my past
coming to make a second round.
The feelings of regret coming around.
So deep.
So deep I've almost drowned.
But the waters started to recede
with the help of a little weed.
Now there's fire in my lungs
where healthy ones once hung.
Now blackened and cold
and only leaves it's once strong hold.
