Drowning

Thinking Too Much

By CatherinePublished 6 years ago 1 min read

I can't stop thinking

I try to ignore my thoughts

But they take over my life

And I can't find the time

To stop and breathe

Every part of me

Seems to be sinking

Drowning

I feel like I'm falling

In love

With the darkness

Its becoming a part

Of me

I can’t see

Beyond

I can't see

The light

I just wish I could fight

For my hope

For my life

For more than these lies

I'm believing

For more than this pain

I'm relieving

With darkness

I want to feel a part of it

A part of the world

And not be so disconnected

But I can’t accept it

I can't ever be a part of it

I'm blocked out by my mind

Blocked in my own mind

I'm terrified

But I can't escape it

And I'm trapped

I'm screaming for help

But no one can hear me

I can't hear myself

And now I'm drowning again

And I can't find my way out
