Drown

I'm gasping for air.

My lungs burn and my body is weak.

Why can't I see anything? I try to breathe but my lungs don't fill with the air that they are so desperate for.

I feel someone,holding me,

I try to pull away from him but my body doesn’t move.

He pushes me deeper into the suffocating darkness.

Someone please help me, why won't anyone help me?

Stop staring at me and help!

I start to fade.

I begin to feel hope as my body goes numb,

I'm drowning.

my body beings to fight and I don't feel anything but the fire blazing in my chest.

Why give me hope when you were just going to rip it out of my hands?

Am I really that worthless?

I'm all alone, and no one cares to notice.
