Sunk

Showered deep in emotion
I just wanna let go.
These tears are threatening to fall
And I'm not going on show.

I stay locked inside my bedroom
Far away from the outside.
My feelings are chambered
On my inner surface they reside.

Things have happened,
Things I still don't understand.
They've stolen my breath,
Taken my cold hands.

And it won't let go
And it's draining all of me.
I'm slipping oh so slowly
but I can't set it free.

Too much is hitting close to home
Just a little too much.
I'm holding onto the brighter things
But falling out of touch.

I'm fighting so hard
Fighting for tomorrow.
Fighting to shy away from
All of the bitterness and sorrow.

I feel caught up,
Chained to middle ground.
Can't somebody cut me loose?
I need to be found.

Because I'm drowning in these waters,
Held under, down deep
And I need out
Before I fall in my sleep.
