✨Drowning✨

Drowning in fear
Fear for what tomorrow brings
And all the other days to come
Thinking about it 24/7

Drowning in sorrow
Sorrow, deeper than any ocean or sea
For each day that goes, the more sad I grow to be
There's no other way to live

Drowning in problems
Problems without any solutions
Growing bigger for each day that goes by
No solutions, I can't find

Drowning in doubts
Doubts that I can't erase
Sadly, good enough I'll never be
When I'm gone you'll most likely see

Drowning in fake and pretend
Kinda easy to paint on a picture perfect face
Fake that smile and pretend that you're fine
Exhausting it is, energy wasted on shit
