Drowning

Natalie Heisey

 

I keep hearing those voices in my head, Echoes of words that everyone has said.  

The weight of the world is dragging me down, Feels like I'm fading, like I'm about to drown.

I can't seem to fix what's wrong,  I’ve been fighting hard for so long. Everything I had just slipped away,  

And nobody cares enough to stay. Picking up the pieces of my shattered dreams,  

No one’s around, or so it seems. When they do, it's just more pain, Like I'm caught in a never-ending rain.

I can't seem to fix what's wrong, I’ve been fighting hard for so long. Everything I had just slipped away,  And nobody cares enough to stay.

Every day’s a battle, searching for a sign, Lost in the darkness, no stars to align.  

I cry out for help, but silence is all I find, Drowning in sorrow, trapped in my mind.

I can't seem to fix what's wrong,  I’ve been fighting hard for so long.  

Everything I had just slipped away,  And nobody cares enough to stay.

Holding on tight, though my grip is weak,  Hoping for a change, for the peace I seek.  

But shadows grow longer, nights colder still, Will I ever find solace, will I ever heal? 

I can't seem to fix what's wrong, I’ve been fighting hard for so long.  

Everything I had just slipped away,  And nobody cares enough to stay.

I  keep hearing those voices in my head, Echoes of words that everyone has said.  

The weight of the world is dragging me down,  

Feels like I'm fading, like I'm about to drown.
