I can still remember the first time I was drowning
The way my body sunk to the bottom of the pool
The feeling of water filling my lungs
The struggle to get up for air
I now realize I've drowned multiple times
But instead of water filling my lungs
It's worry and sadness instead
At first I'd struggle,fighting to get back up
But now I let my body sink
Letting all the sadness and worry hug me just as the water once did.
