Drowning at life
I’m drowning
Under water
Bubbles keeping me up
Breathing
The water seeps me
Getting me wet
Clothes getting water logged
Sticking to me in the worst places
Keeping my head up
Despite the crashing waves
Is an ongoing battle
Flailing my arms
To keep on top
And not go under
Water goes up my throat and nose
Fighting the current
Wastes my energy
So I let the waves take me
Hoping eventually the beach will come
Or an area where I can reach bottom
And not endless swim, swim
Rest sounds so heavenly and peaceful
But what will I do when I’m not struggling?
