riptide

the worst
is struggling underneath the surface
no one can hear you scream
a smile
and an "i'm fine"
and everyone believes it
can't you see i'm drowning?
can't you tell?
a pocketful of lies and rocks and maybe
just maybe
i'll be okay
will tomorrow be better?
or will the current tow me farther down
