Grasping grasping
grasping at straws
looking for an ending,
I hit the ground.
and we all. fall. down.
Looking looking
looking for light
we stand here in darkness,
no hope to be found.
and we all. fall. down.
Gasping gasping
gasping for breath
we try to tread water,
but we're staring to drown.
and we all. sink. down.
