Vortex
Trying to drift
Not wanting to make waves.
Watching the deluge grow ever deeper
Submerging resolution with it's coldness
Drowning thought with it's weight.
Too tired to tread water,
Trying just to stay afloat.
Looking for something to hold onto
Being scared and all alone.
Darkness starting to take over
Knowing that I'm going down.
Held under by my numbness
Please God, I don't want to drown.
