Drowning

Do you see me?

Can you hear me?

I am right here!

I am screaming and flailing

Fighting not to be consumed by the storm

Barraged by waves of sorrow

Pockets full of fear, heavy as rocks

Slowly sinking below the surface

Cries muffled by claps of thunder

I am begging for help

You didn't see me in time

I am swallowed by a sea of apathy

Enveloped in cold, dark misery

You won't hear me now

Because I won't yell anymore

I am sunken in this trench of despair
