Sinking

I'm drowning

I know how to swim but I'm still drowning

Choking, sputtering, coughing

Weighed down by mistakes

By everyone's expectations

I could try to swim

But I'm tired from trying

I just gave up

There's no point

Because I know that even when I'm gone

I'll never float back up

No one will ever really see me

I'm buried under to much

I keep sinking lower and lower

There's no longer any light

To much pressure

I'm no longer trying to fight

Finally the ocean floor

They can't hurt me anymore

Caught in my throat

A final breath

I'm free from them all

But the price, 

My death.
