I haven't slept in weeks,
wishing that I didn't have
these nightmares haunting me.
I wake up feeling like
I'm swimming under water,
waves instantly taking me down
as I drown in the deep end
and cannot catch my breath.
My fears flood the ocean,
as I envision dying young
because my eyes see no way out,
and sooner or later,
I know they will have to give in
and fall asleep -
leaving me drowning
in the deep end
of my past.
