Mind Water

Brycycle

I am struggling to breathe

In the depths of my mind.

 

My strongest reach for help creates a ripple,

Yet the voices drown me in their tsunami.

 

A wave of hope pushes me,

But as I swim,

The current pulls me away.

 

The wreckages underneath me,

Only hold the chances I missed.

    Brycycle, maybe you could have called it "Hopeful Wreckages".
    I do like the metaphors and the way you build up in the first line of a stanza, then take it away again.
    Well written!

      Those chances that you missed are all part of life's experience, it ensures that you will not miss them next time.
      Good write.
