im sinking down into the depths of me
where the waters grown so cold
im drinking in my mortal sin
im drowning with no hope

im sinking deep and losing air
my lungs are ready to break
im tired of always being wrong
im tired of my mistakes

i made myself become so numb
so i dont have to feel
so that i dont have to kill myself
to prove that i am real

i dont want your sympathy
thats not what i intend
and i dont want your apolagies
i just want to make amends

im sinking down into the depths of me
where the waters grown so cold
im drinking in my mortal sin
and im drowning with no hope

Wow.  Absolutely amazing.  Good flow and excellent wording.  Another good write.

this poem is absolutely awesome.  It has been a while since i have read a poem with such meaning as this one.  I started to copy a part of the poem but I love the entire thing especially how you repeated the first stanza at the end.
