As I catch my breath I start to think:
These ocean waves have held me down for so long.
Should I give up & let it sink?
For all my thoughts can't keep me up when all my memories weigh me down closer to the bottom of the sea.
I see sun on the surface & it reminds me of when I could breathe.
Like the God's have cursed me to drown on my own, breaking down.
Pray for me.
I've gone too deep, I've lost my mind.
Call off the search, there's not much left of me to find.
A hollow shell of my former self drifting down to the warmths of hell.
& I'm feeling so much colder than I thought I ever could.
& I'm feeling so much further from you.
I see sun on the surface & it reminds me of when I could breathe.
Like the God's have cursed me to drown on my own, breaking down.
Pray for me.
