Salt water collides in waves inside of me
It crashes into the sides of my stomach; my body
It pulls me under and I wish to let out a cry for help
A desperate cry for redemption
The ocean inside of me moans and groans
It wishes to take over: I will not let it
I lie awake waiting for the storm to pass
I feel like I'm drowning in the ocean of my fear
Drowning
The salt water brews up a riot inside of me
"Help! Is there anyone there?"
I will not give in. I refuse to give in.
I will not show them my pain
I will not show them my weakness
I will not give in. I refuse to give in.
Salt water brings me under
I feel the pressure building up inside of me
For days, months, years, even, have I collided with this raging storm
Will I stay strong enough to fight?
Will I stay strong enough to never let go?
This riot of emotion; I refuse to give in
Salty waves crash violently inside of me
I can't let go! I can't give in!
Drowning
I call out for help
I let go. I give in.
The salt water finally pulls me under
Drowning
Drowning
Drowning
Drowned
