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
