I'm drowning.
And nobody can hear,
My cries for help.
The burdens, weigh on me
Like the feeling of guilt;
They consume me slowly,
Making me want to disappear.

I'm screaming.
I can't breathe!
There's something, someone-
Always on top of me
Forcing me into fear.

I'm crying.
But you still don't see
You refuse to acknowledge
That someone is out for me.
You say life isn't perfect
I know that all too well
But I still need help.

I'm begging.
Why won't you listen?!
You put it down to me being a hysterical woman,
When truly, I'm close to the bottom.
Their hands are on my neck
Suffocating me slowly
Silencing my stories
And you're watching from afar
Knowing, I do not mean much.

I'm sorry.
For asking for help.
For going insane after the hand I was dealt.
The tears are uncontrollable
But I'll stop now,
I promise.
It's just hard to know
That I-
That my life,...
means nothing.
