Drowning

Drowning in the remnants of my life,
Trying to catch my breath.
Everything seems to weigh down on me,
And no one notices my distress.

I try to scream, scream for help,
But no one seems to hear.
All they see is a carefree child,
Not old enough to fear.

I've lost the person I used to be,
And I can't find my way there.
I'm scared of what my future holds,
And all the pains I have to bear.

I can't fight against the tide,
I need someone to pull me free.
I can't save myself on my own,
Can't anyone rescue me?

Some days I feel like I will die,
And nobody would care,
Aside to say I've let them down
By no longer being there.

I try so hard to save myself,
And be that girl you want from me.
But I've lost the energy to fight,
And I can barely see.

I'm drowning in my own life's tide,
And no one seems to see.
Surrounded by the crushing dark,
Maybe I'll at least be free.
