Drowning

I am submerged

below my flood of tears.

Can’t gaze

through murky vision.

My arms flail

trying to swim

through emotions

impeding my struggle.

I am drowning,

I grit my teeth

to stay the flood

from flowing watery

through my soul.

Perpetual rain pours

adding to my misery.

My despair darkens

like sky’s sorrow.

Rain wails

spits blood of angst.

Chaos speaks

through thunder’s hammer

and lightning’s smite

Please, lend me your heart

to float on before

deep water wins

and takes me under.

Expel my torrents

from body and breath

before I gulp

the cascading water

and nothing remains

but muck and sludge.
