Drowning

Can't breathe

Can't see

Can't Speak

I'm drowning

The harder I try the further down I fall

My air is running out

my lifelines are calling in a rain check when I need them the most

Everything around me is getting dark

Slowly getting darker and darker

All the words that I want to say get stuck in my through waiting to tumble out at any give moment

but stuck together

They'll never suspect a drowning

Accidental or intentional

I've been fighting for so long

With on one else on my side

beaten and worn

My oxygen levels are falling

Heart rate slowing

maybe then I'll find some peace of mind

Can't breathe

Can't see

Can't speak

Slowly drowning

just tired of it all

No one will ever suspect a drowning.
