More and more
This water full of
mercy, distasteful, foul water
Creeps up
Inside of my lungs
Drowning my organs
I can feel the fear
As if it is physically manifesting
In my stomach, side, back, head
It's getting to be too much
How much more can I take
before I break ?
This fear - is filled with little fears
that may or may not predict
what is to come
I cannot help but let it consume me
I just pray
It won't consume my situation
