I'm under water
At first it doesn't matter
I could drown and let go of all the misery
Then it starts to hurt
And I wonder if anyone notices I'm missing
I'm kicking and fighting...
...but the water won't let me go
Then I see a hand
As I reach for it....the water does too
When I grab the hand the water immediately falls
I'm free!
At least i was for about 3 seconds
Then the face disappears...
...and I'm drowning again
I try to let the water take me away...
...but then the hand was there again
And i tried to ignore it but the pain was increasing
I grab the hand again....and the water tries to too...
but as soon as i touch it the water falls
The grip is not as strong as the first but it helps me out
When i begin to relax and walk away from the water...it creeps up behind me
The hand lets go for 2 seconds and then...
I'm drowning...again
And again no one cares
As I'm plunged under water the sun is hitting my face...
...my body is glistening in the water like a diamond...
...but no one can see
But then again...they might not be looking
They might not be caring
Maybe because this isn't my first time drowning
So I close my eyes and fall into a deep sleep
