Drowning

I'm out of breath
I've fallen down
feeling this dread
I think I'm going to drown.
My lungs are burning
I'm breathing fire
I hear Death calling,
I reply with 'Liar!'
It can't be the end
I need to breathe!
Any help you can lend?
Any life I can lead?
Don't let me go
I want to live!
But even though
I'll ask you to leave
I need you to stay
and save me from me.

History class will do this to you. I don't really know what inspired me, but I was picturing an ocean and like always my thoughts go cukoo. I actually saw myself drowning and something pulling me down (like a current) then the image of me drowning in the water got smaller and I saw myself outside the water in jumbo size as if I was the one drowning myself. O.o I'm telling you, I have loads of screws loose in this brain of mine. But I think I put the emotions on really well, in the sense that when we feel like we're emotionally drowning that's sort of how we feel, and in the end, the emotions aren't drowning us. We're drowning ourselves.
