despair- a book of poetry

Drowning

I am sinking into the deep depths of my mind 

Drowning in my thoughts as I frantically try to escape

But the words are like quicksand 

And the more I panic the more I sink 

I am suffocating for a breath of kind words 

My very being is begging for a hand to grasp in the sea of monsters

For just a flicker of hope to reach me 

But nothing comes 

I will not survive
