Slipping


My greatest fear was to drown.
To have my lungs full of water
Simultaneously, living and dying
Until I realized, I'm drowning myself.
Sorrow after sorrow take over my body
Fill up my body, until I cannot move
Emotions suffocating my lungs
Trapping me in an endless torture.
Unfortunately I cannot swim.
