Drowning
The wind drowns me
I'm gasping for a breath of fresh air
wheezing
as if im in an ocean so deep I can't see the light
it's dark
should I let the air leave me
let myself go
The wind blows
and as it touches my skin
I feel a burning sensation
it's eating at my stomache
The light is off but my eyes wont close
wires keeping them open
mind racing
crying
it's hammering at my head
it's heating up
hurt
my eyes are blurred from the tears
but still i see the words, the equations, the formulas, the rules, the tardies, the grades, teachers,
the fake smiles
The fake smiles I give to not alert anyone what I'm feeling
what im hiding
what it is im feeling
what am i feeling?
when is tomorrow coming
I crave sleep
oh shoot, I have an assignment due tomorrow
I can't go to sleep just yet
I'm Drowning
