I Swear I'm Drowning

I can feel the water closing in above me

The pressure of this thing is mounting

As I sink deeper and deeper into this

The water gets blacker and blacker

Devoid of all light as the depths

Close in on me bring me down

Put me 10,000 feet below

The waves of the surface

Where the innocent play

Unknowing complacent

I'd rather sink than not

Know what to do

Tell me what to do

Help me escape

Take this away

Bring me

Back

Feeling so weighed down with nothing to combat the pressure with, and yet, still hoping someone will reach out and save you. Great poem, and much enjoyed.
