I’m drowning. The sea consumes me: Hungry to feel my guilt, Hungry to feel my sadness, Hungry to feel my pain. I’m lost. I’m faltering underwater And it feels as though The whole world is on my chest Bruising me, Suffocating me, Abandoning me. I feel my life closing in on me, Trapping me in The maze of my mind. I’m not scared though, I want to drown. I deserve to drown. As my eyes slowly shut, I see a frail hand Trying to help me. But I choose to ignore it Because I deserve this. I deserve this.

Drowning
I’m drowning. The sea consumes me: Hungry to feel my guilt, Hungry to feel my sadness, Hungry to feel my pain. I’m lost. I’m faltering underwater And it feels as though The whole world is on my chest Bruising me, Suffocating me, Abandoning me. I feel my life closing in on me, Trapping me in The maze of my mind. I’m not scared though, I want to drown. I deserve to drown. As my eyes slowly shut, I see a frail hand Trying to help me. But I choose to ignore it Because I deserve this. I deserve this.
