Drowning

Emotion takes over thought and I can't understand,

This rush of feelings as I look for land,

In an ocean of fear and thoughts of escape,

It closes in, wrapping around like tape.

Drowning and smothering my screams,

In a silence so pervading there are no seams,

And the world keeps spinning outside,

But it's like my mind says the world lied.
