Drowning.



I often find myself cruising along

Never stopping to think


But as soon as something

Truly pricks me

I fall

and tumble

and claw

at the walls

to try to regain my

balance


I try to fight against gravity

Resisting the urge to sink

But my struggles just make

me sink deeper into the

abyss


And as I'm sinking

and drowning

and feeling my body going

limp


I look up at the world above me

bright and sunny

undisturbed by my descent


And for a moment I have peace

for it never mattered anyway

my struggles

my drowning

my sinking


The world kept on going

rotating

buzzing

laughing


And I can't seem to work up

the might

to pull myself from the

depths


Drowning.
