Sinking.


 

I feel like it's getting bad again
The anchor attached to my ankle
Dragging me down,
To the bottom. Below everyone & everything.
Sinking. 
I'm still being pulled down by my last little tread, hoping it last until the end. 
Happiness, is what I hope for at last. A place were I can find a smile that actually shows I'm happy. 
I don't want the pain anymore. I want it gone for good.
I need to release this anchor, holding my pain from my childhood.
