Drowning
All this time I thought I could swim, but really I’m drowning.
All this time I tried to hold it in, but now I’m trying to say it, “I’m drowning”.
Consumed by each day, going through the motions, but damnit, I’m drowning.
Thought I could ride the waves of this ocean, but, nah, really, I’m drowning.
How many times of me saying this before you hear me, HELLO, I’m drowning.
I’m tired of giving myself so endlessly, never thought I’d admit that I’m drowning.
But here I am saying it loudly, I’M DROWNING.
And there you sit proudly, you never did save me as I was drowning.
