"Yeah, my life is what I'm fighting for
Can't part the sea, can't reach the shore
And my voice becomes the driving force
I won't let this pull me overboard" 

"God, keep my head above water
Don't let me drown, it gets harder
I'll meet you there at the altar
As I fall down to my knees
Don't let me drown, drown, drown"

"So pull me up from down below
'Cause I'm underneath the undertow
Come dry me off and hold me close
I need you now, I need you most"

"And I can't see in the stormy weather
I can't seem to keep it all together
And I, I can't swim the ocean like this forever
And I can't breathe"


Everyday I fight to keep my head above the water, fearful that if I stop struggling for even a moment, I'll drown. The waves are too strong for me to swim through! But still every time I gasp for air I'm fighting for my life, trying to hold onto any sanity I can find in this living hell filled with stormy weather; but it seems like I can't keep it all together by myself. It feels like I can't breath! It's all so suffocating! God please keep my head above the water, don't let me drown! Someone please come and save me, I CAN'T BREATH! I CAN'T CONTINUE TO FIGHT ON MY OWN! I-I'M NOT STRONG ENOUGH! I try to reach for something, anything as I fight to keep my head above the water but something continues to nip at my feet, wrapping around my ankles to drag me down a bottomless abyss. 
Just as I'm about to go down a light shines on me, and another, then three and four more! I feel someone reaching out for me but it's too late. I'm already under but just when I was about to give up I feel someone grab my extended hand that was silently begging someone to take it.

"You know, you weren't supposed to see them." He dropped my arm. "Is that supposed to make me feel better?" He grabbed my other arm, exposing those cuts as well. Bloody bandages fell to the ground and his expression changed. "Is this supposed to make me feel better?!?!?!" He held both my arms in front of me. I could feel his hands shaking. I could hear his voice breaking. He was yelling, but I knew it was a facade. He wasn't angry. He was worried. He was sad. He just doesn't know how to express anything else. "It's fine. Don't worry. I'm okay." He dropped my arms and stepped back a bit, looking down for a few seconds. He yelled in frustration, pushing me to the ground suddenly. I avoided eye contact. "In what world?! What part of your fucked up mind is telling you that this is okay?!?! Because let me fucking tell you right now, if you ever fucking do this to yourself again I swear...." He punched the wall and yelled in frustration, taking a deep breath to calm himself. He paused for a few seconds before speaking again. "Get up." He held out his hand and I took it, standing up shakily. He grabbed my arms again, staring at them sadly. "Again? Why would you hide them again? Why this again?" He pled desperately. "You two." A different voice from across the hallway said, making us both jump a bit. Aizawa walked over to us, looking down at my cuts with slightly widened eyes, then back up at me with a concerned expression. "I need to talk to both of you."
