Can you hear me? I think I’m drowning

Where’s the light?

I can’t swim, someone help

Everything comes flashing back

All the joy I had felt was nothing but a life hack

I feel like I’m in the abyss and I’m all alone

—————-

With no place to call home but the loneliness that has kept me alive all along

Is this where I actually belong?

It doesn’t make any sense

Why was I sent here?

Did I do this to myself?

——————-

All these questions and yet I have no answer

I’m drowning

I can’t swim, someone please come help me

—————-

I’m starting to run out of breath

I could scream at the top of my voice but it’ll be fruitless cause no one would hear me

How do I know this? I’ve gone down this road before but I guess it’s worse now

Someone please help me

My heads under water

But as long as I’m here no one can hurt me

Did I do this to myself?

I don’t want end up alone

Someone help, me I’m drowning

Would I be able to find my way back before it’s too late?
