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
