I’ve been swimming with the dead.
Their voices sink into my head.
They’re drowning my dreams.
Tearing me at the seams.
Is there any hope for me?
Will I be lost beneath the sea?
Someone build me a boat.
I need help staying afloat.
Sometimes I tend to overthink.
Thoughts weighing down on me, causing me to sink.
If there is a lord.
Why’d he let me go overboard?
The tiny tadpole too young to croak.
So afraid to choke.
Hanging on by a rope.
