Gasp for Air


Head under water

Held in place, trapped

I'm losing my breath

Held in place, trapped

Still, you keep me there

Held in place, trapped

It is all my fault

Held in place, trapped

For taking the dive

I write as a way to tell my truth and reveal my inner thoughts. Overthinking is a hobby of mine and I like to get lost in my own world. Poetry helps me cope with the world and myself.
