Drowning

 

Feel the sudden silent thunder

Watch the waves pull you under

Reach for light you cannot touch

Want for breath – you want too much

 

Fight the darkness, fight the vice

Fight too slow – veins filled with ice

Don’t surrender, don’t be pulled down

Scream your scream – don’t make a sound

 

 

Too much light burst in your eyes

No one cares or hears your cries

Slowly watch your body slip away

Once black or white, now all is gray
