Underwater

I felt my wet pillowcase
Where the left side of my cheek
There it flows like a running waterfall
I felt a tingle when it landed on my ear
In the room the silence is so loud
That I stopped myself from making a sound

Inhaling but not able to exhale
Cause I was pulled down
My airflow has been blocked
And my nose is restricted
By some kind of a flowing medium
I can see but everything confuses me

Drowning in an ocean of tears
I sank to the bottom
It's dark, deep and empty
Alone holding my breath
Curled up myself into a small ball
Hoping I would float once again

I tried to swam towards the light
But it feels heavy to move
And I can't get through my weak state
Soon I was out of air and my eyes felt heavy
The surface is like miles away
Instead I tried again hoping to get out

But then again it was impossible
I was far from reaching above
I stopped and let my body rest
As I was flowing with the current
I felt relaxed and later I perceived
That I was just struggling against myself
