Drowning

Wed, 03/09/2022 - 18:03 -- xerash

Barely living

Always holding my breath

Never letting myself lose control

While forcing a smile onto my face

I'm on the verge of breaking

On the edge of my seat

Waiting for the day 

I just stop feeling 

Hoping for that day to come sooner 

Never letting anyone see

How broken I really am

Never let them see

 How much I’m suffering

Slowly drowning

Somehow keeping my head above the water

Everything that keeps me living

Slowly starts to disappear

My life raft is running out of air

And there is no land in sight

My voice hoarse from screaming mayday

 Guess I’m on my own

I don’t blame anyone

For not coming to my rescue

I’ve made some mistakes

And I pushed people away

I put up a wall

That way no one could get in

Never letting anyone see

How broken I really am

Never let them see

How much I suffering

Slowly drowning

Somehow keeping my head above the water

Everything that keeps me living

Slowly starts to disappear

My life raft is running out of air

And there is no land in sight

But i'll be fine

Cause I’m me
