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.
