Girl Underwater


Down deep under, The pressure is crushing me. It's hurting to breathe. I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I don't even know what's going on. But it's all too compact with the walls closing in. I scream. I panic. Reason? I'm not so sure myself why. Chaos in my head, just make it go away. I want to sleep. I want to go away, I want things to fog up and evaporate.. I want peace please, I feel like I'm drowning, I'm asking peace please, I'm the girl stuck underwater.
