Drown
I get pushed down and my sorrow hangs heavy like an anchor
I've been swimming in this ocean for an eternity
Wave after wave it pummels me
I inhale the sea as It tries to engulf me
Watch me drown in this repetition of eternal conflict
A battle I can't win, it's no longer swimming when your drowning
In comparison I am small to this deep blue
And every ounce of me want to live
But those ounces slowly drift away with this current rush of sorrow.
And I let go
