Drowning in the Storm
The wind pushes against the glass
the rain pounds inside your head
you wait for the storm to pass
but it gets worse instead
The sun has gone away
the clouds fill the sky
the warmth won't stay
this life has gone awry
You wait for nature to take its course
and take you from this misery
but you're sunk down
to drown
beneath the current
Resuscitated before death can claim you,
each breath is without air
lungs filled by salty waters
filling and tearing your lungs bare
Panic fills your mind
and you thrash to get out
but you are held under
unable to die and unable to live
In circles we go
around and around
when it stops you'll never know
at the bottom of the ocean you'll never be found
