drowning
It's like drowning.
I've never felt
water filling my lungs,
but I have experienced
sorrow crushing my ribcage
breaking my soul
suffocating me
no matter where I go
no matter where I turn
It engulfs me
I cannot escape it
I cannot breathe
Raging wars on myself
Precariously
Running from an entity
but as I look back
Nullity
My demons are chasing me
terrorizing me
drowning me
Or
Are they inside me?
