The rope clawing at my legs
My legs, feel like lead weights
Dragging me down with every step along the way
It reflects the morning sun and the evening moon
A shimmering pool that shows one's desires
That is not why I'm here, I think to myself
Am I really going to do this?
Shaky breaths come out of my mouth
Slowly making my way towards the lake
I sink deeper and deeper in
No one can save me now
My last step is taken, as the weights pull me down
A gasp escapes my mouth as I am dragged under
The need for oxygen claws it's way up my throat
Ropes tighten and burn against my scarred skin
The feeling of lightheadedness comes to me
Pounding silently in my head as my body goes still
The weights clash against the murky floor
My eyes start to close as I lose feeling
Numb with pain, I let out what's left of the oxygen
My lungs fill with water, my mind screams at me to swim but...
I resist the feeling as I relish at the thought of being free
My final goodbyes written in my own ink
And to think, I was happy being help captive
By the voices that were once in my head
Bringing me pain and pleasure along the way
My body stops trying to resist against the weights and I go still
Up above the water I faintly hear screams
My family mourning over me
Soft hands touch my cold skin, the ropes loosen
The feeling of being lifted high into the air evades me
My mind is blank and foggy as we reach the shore
No sounds are heard anymore but I imagine their faces, seeing their loving daughter pale and soaking wet
No oxygen reaches my lungs as I am drowning all over again
Pressure on my chest make me jolt in surprise
Their trying to save me, I realize
Sirens blaring can be heard in the distance
Another jolt to my chest
No! Stop it, can't you see this is my only way to be free
I want to scream out
The sirens sound closer as the time passes along slowly
Just let me be free I want to scream as I am lifted once again
