You're Drowning.
You try to breathe,
Your lungs fill with water,
it burns.
It's like the burn you feel,
When you take that first shower,
While your wounds are exposed.

You're Drowning.
You know how to swim,
Your'e a good swimmer.
Why aren't you swimming?
You have been swimming for so long,
That you have forgotten how to float.
You haven't felt that first breath,
before drowning for so long,
You have forgotten the feeling,
Of pure aliveness that comes with it.

Your'e drowning.
But the thing is,
You don't want to swim anymore.
What's the point of swimming,
When you can't breathe?
When there is no land in sight,
When you have forgotten how to float?

You are drowning...
