try and swim

I am drowning

 I am surrounded in misery

 I am weighed down by failure

 I am struggling to push my head above the surface to taste the sweet thing

you like to call air

I don’t know how to start

 I don’t know where to go

 I don’t know how to swim

I don’t know how to put my feelings into words 

Everything is unknown except 

I’m drowning 

Drowning in my own blood 

Drowning in a puddle of pain that only gets thicker
