drowning by the water

Drowning in sorrow

Drowning in a sea of sorrow,
A tempestuous tide, I fall.
Dark waves crash upon my soul,
Engulfing me in their mournful call.

The weight of anguish, heavy, vast,
Pulls me down, disarms my will.
In this abyss, I gasp for air,
But sorrow's grip is relentless still.

Each breath consumed by aching pain,
In the depths, my tears dissolve.
The currents swirl, an endless dance,
As grief devours, no resolve.

Yet amidst the drowning sorrow,
A fragile hope begins to rise.
A whisper in the tempest's roar,
Guiding me towards cerulean skies.

I grasp onto fragments of light,
Escaping sorrow's suffocating sea.
With every stroke, I fight to swim,
Embracing life, yearning to be free.

And though the waves may crash and break,
I will not yield, courage will remain.
For in the depths of sorrow's grasp,
A resilient heart shall rise again.
