I

am

drowning

Emptiness and despair

f l o o d i n g
my
lungs

It's so hard to

b r e a t h

It's so hard to make it

t h r o u g h  the  d a y

As I'm r u n n i n g
to the bathroom at work

to put my

head

between

my legs

Breath

in and
    
o u t

yourefine
yourefine
yourefine
yourefine

I whisper to myself like

a  p r a y e r

trying to convince

myself

But my

t r e m b l i n g  h a n d s

and radiating heat through
  
m y  b o d y

tell a different story

My  m i n d   b o d y  and  s o u l

are just so

exhausted

and

drained

with pain

crashing into me

like waves

from every direction

I

am

drowning

and on days

like this

I don't know how to

s a v e  m y s e l f

and sometimes I get so 
    
t i r e d

of

fighting

the battle in my

h e a d

that I let the w a v e s

win

I let the waves
bring me to the

p l a c e

that haunts my                             

mind

the place that's all too
