I'm so fucking angry
And overwhelmed
It's like all of a sudden I'm handling everything on my own
There was no slowly walking into the pool
They just pushed me right in hoping that I wouldn't drown
But I am drowning
Because you forgot to take off the weight that kept me attached to you
You latched that weight on so long ago that you didn't even remember it was there
So now I'm stuck at the bottom of the pool and I can't hold my breath any longer
You can't control me and make me do everything on my own at the same time
You have to let one of them go
So what will it be?
Will you give me the key so I can reach the surface?
Or will you drag me back up from the pool with the weight still attached?
Just don't let me drown.
