Everything Is Alright

I gasp for air

but I'm at the bottom of an ocean

My lungs ache and long to take a breath

I see nothing but black space in front of me

My arms and legs kick helplessly

feeling water all around rippling

but not gaining any upward motion to the surface

A static ringing in my ears

I look to my right

To see that the answering machine is recording a message

and I'm awake

but I won't answer it

and I feel like bugs are crawling all over my skin

and thats when that sinking feeling crosses my mind again

I grip the edge of the couch

to prevent falling back into the water

and i almost feel like life is pointless

but then I remember I'm not supposed to talk about that

its then that the walls start closing in

and I scream for help

but the water muffles my voice

and once again i'm in a situation that I can't handle

and I can almost taste the salt in my mouth

But no comes to save me

because I misplaced the extra key

that usually resides under the doormat

so I sit here and wait

in screaming silence

for an end
