Struggles

Yes I am D-R-O-W-N-I-N-G

Like I am deep in the ocean's depths struggling

For a little drag of fresh air inside me

A little help from anyone to pull me

I feel so helpless even with a whole list

Of contacts, yet no one to call in this

Time of need, while I am choking on something

That's meant to give me life, but instead killing

Too much of everything is bad, people say

Now I understand as i take my last breath

That I shouldn't hope on my long list along the way

Instead find a way out of this great threat

So as I draw my last breath in this great ocean

I will pull up like I was given the last drop of a strength potion

I will push myself hard as I swim through these mighty tides

Until I find myself safe on the shores of Almighty's hands.
