No one knows how it feels like to drown.

In the bottom of the sea where no one can hear

The way I am calling for help

My tongue tied

My voice cried

Trying to let out a word

To acknowledge my presence in this world

But nothing came out

Because I'm still breathing

Moving

But why am I not talking?

An open mouth

No sound was out

I kept trying over and over.

The way to express myself is gone.

Once again the little girl that suffered with talk

Was never heard of.

Until her body surfaced on the water she was trapped in.

And a little sound from her throat

Filled the space around her.

They say she came back to herself

But the truth she never was since the beginning.
