Drowning

I'm drowning

You tell me that I'm not

That I'm nowhere near water

And that I'm breathing just fine

But I don't mean physically

I'm drowning in my thoughts

And I feel like I can't breath

And everyone around me is breathing perfectly fine

Oh, how I wish I could be like them

I'm drowning

I almost died yesterday

We went to the beach

I got pulled under

I thought that that drowning was better than my normal drowning

So much that when it became safe to go back up...

I stayed under

You got scared

You couldn't find me at first

But you did

And I hated you for it

I wanted to die

And you wouldn't let me

I ran home and hid for the rest of the day

I'm drowning

I saw you today

You acted like you care about me

I actually thought, for a second, that you do

But I remembered that that can't be true

I'm drowning

My thoughts are becoming too much for me

My mind is so so violent

I can't take it anymore

I'm drowning

You came to my funeral

You cried so much

I was confused

I thought you hated me

I guess I was wrong

I'm sorry

I just wanted to stop drowning
