Sinking under

December 16, 2022

Don’t ever stop kicking,

Fight for your life,

Stop yourself from slipping.


Look up to the surface,

See the sun and remind yourself,

You have a purpose.


Open up your eyes,

You are drowning,

No one hears your cries.


Don’t let yourself sink,

Don’t take a breath,

Just swim, don't think.


You are almost there,

Just a little further,

For a breath of fresh air.

Just keep fighting.
