Do you know what it feels like to drown


Do you know what it feels like to drown?
 
Have you ever been so aware of everything that it slowly sinks in around you?
 
Have you ever thought no one would find you even though there was no one around?
 
I guess not…
 
If you did you wouldn’t still be reading
 
You wouldn’t be wondering if this was just another agonized teen
 
No you would have clicked the back button
 
Because you don’t know how it feels when imaginary water fills your lungs
 
 When it takes all the space and you can no longer breath
 
Or maybe you’ve just forgotten how
 
When you want to fall to the floor crying
 
But instead you just force a smile onto a broken face
 
So I ask again 
 
Do you know what it feels like to drown?
