Drowning

Poetry

YA fiction

Drowning, I am drowning. Drowning in this sea, this world, and her unforgiving hand that which I have been dealt. I am drowning. I am drowning. I am drowning. Help me, please. Force me to reject the idea that is Death. Breathe me back to Life, and keep me afloat above this ocean and her wonderful embrace, that makes me feel alive. But still, I am drowning, and this embrace, is more like a chokehold. And what is worse, suffocating in false promises or drowning in the hard truth?
