i am
d r o w n i n g
in this world
i can't breathe
the tightness in my chest
increases every day
i take a deep breath
try not to let it show
but i am drowning
and i simply can't breathe
deep, deep breaths
but i am gasping in water
and i thought i had it figured out
i thought words would be my air
but they can't last forever
and i am six feet under
i was a raging storm
but all raindrops end up in the ocean
