Drowning
I'm drowning in a sea of pain
Wishing, Wanting, Waiting
My lung constricts
My heart predicts
That this is the end
Of Hating
Everything and everyone
Has given me hope and love
Then snatch it all away
Laugh and say
It's all your fault
Today's just not your day
I cry and scream
A soundless dream
Filled with anger and fears
Will you pull me from this Hell?
Will you grab my hand
And yank me up
As I gasp and cough and choke
Spitting this blackness from my soul
Will you hold me tight
As I fight and bleed
Thinking I'm better off alone?
Will you rub my back
As I curse and moan
Not willing to concede?
Will you sing to me
Of talking trees
And other silly things?
Will you be my savior?
Or, will you be my killer?
Please, oh please, oh please,
Lift my from my knees
To stand tall, and proud, and alive
Breathing in this simple thing
We call life, love, and faith
Pull me from the shadows
To bask in your shining light
And let me live again
