Help me, I’m drowning
The waves are crashing in my head
Creating screaming white noise
Pushing me down into darkness
There is nothing to breathe
No air can cure the water that leaks from my eyes
From every pore of my skin
Bleeding for release

down
into
the
darkness

I can feel it drenching my bones
The water seeping into my skin
Choking off every last bit of oxygen
Pulling and pulling and pulling and screaming
Gripping at me with sea foam hands
Until all that’s left are the wax doll smiles
Plastered on in a mask of

down
down
down
into
the
darkness

Contorted hands claw at the inside of my throat
Desperate to get out, to escape
Dripping, dripping, dripping
From my fingers
The water is endlessly falling
Handprints on my skin from its touch
How long have I lived like this?
Lived in this- pulled down down down into this-
Hell?

i’ve
reached
the
bottom

hands are no longer necessary
i will drown myself to release the sanity
