overwhelming

Here I am, it's just me

Drowning in my personal emotional sea

No ones here to save me

As i sink deep, deep down

The water pierces my screams and lets me silently drown

 

At first i want to struggle

To rise above these waves crashing upon me

I'm thinking if I can just get free

I would change my life and be better

But as these thoughts came i only got wetter

 

Now as I'm midway deep

The air in my lungs start to seep

I hold on with all my mite

Not letting my opponent win this fight

My face started to go blue and my lungs gave in too

 

Then i gave up my struggle

Creating a clear white, delicate bubble

As a signal of my peace

As i sink beneath the bright and colourful reef

Hearing my final beep... beep............... beep.
