Drowning
I can't think
my mind is numb
my heart is pained
and pumping fast beneath
my very own hot sticky skin
I can't breathe
I want the pain to end
I want the voices to stop
I'm drowning
you can't hear me
Why can't you here me?
I'm practically shouting
I'm hitting the surface with
hard kicking screams
but you don't care
Why should you care?
you have yourself to worry about
that's what us humans do
we're so selfish
so helpless
I'm selfish
I want to be happy
but I don't want to stop drowning
If I do
I'll never be the same
I won't think beautiful
creative thoughts
I won't be different
So for now I'll be me
and I'll feel
even though it's a painful
numbing
drowning
way to live
