Emotional

Drowning

I saw the sun start to rise,

Emerging from far beyond the pool of mystery,

And wondered how they could reflect 

The warmth and comfort it gave out - 

But here I am. Stuck.

Beneath the shore of life 

In a cage like I am nothing,

Trying to glide up to feel its rays

Trying to glide up to see the waves.

But I am slowly drowning;

The heavy cage dragging me further into

The depths of prickling, dangerous despair.

How am I not suffocating?

But not breathing at the same time?

The key to freedom might be out of sight

But we must fight until it's bright.
