The water is rising
I am sinking
Drowning
Never coming up for air

Reaching out
Screaming out in pain
Drowning
Un-noticed by the world

Falling
Like lead weight in me
Drowning
Suffocating without air

Dragged down
I can’t find it in me to refuse
Drowning
Maybe I don’t want to breathe

I’m hiding
Hiding from the world
Drowning
Down here it’s cold but safe

Drowning
Drowning in my own tears.

*Im going through hell at the moment and this is the only thing thats getting me through, being able to express myself, I feel totally insignificant & like nothing I say counts. This is somewhat my otherwise silenced voice. These words are me gasping for air.*

small insignificant useless me

as i read this i remembered a song i once heard

when you're standing in deep water, bailing yourself out with a straw
when you're drowning in deep water, and you wake up  making love to a wall well
it's these little times it help to remind
it's nothing without love....Jewell

lots of love hun.

Nature has a funny way of breaking that which will not bend....Jewell

I liked this alot..
made me view you as stubborn though
in a good way
And keep coming for air...
Its nice to breathe and blink a bit.

Keep hope, keep writing.
Always, Alyssa

- And so it was that time stood still -
     (blink, breathe, stand, fight)

I will toss you a life preserver. Hold on tight, dry land is nearby, though the air is not always sweet at first deep breath.

Take a deep breath and let it out slow.
