Coughing as water fills my lungs, I'm drowning.

Struggling to get back onto dry land, I'm drowning.

It seems that every attempt to get back on my feet just sends me deeper into the depths.

It all started with one small mistake at a time, as I inched further into the icy depths of the thundering ocean.

I await a life boat, something to save me, but deep down I know no one can save me: I'm too far out.

Im drowning.

This isn't about actually drowning in case you couldn't tell. You can see it from multiple perspectives, I wrote this from the perpective of a sleep deprived and stressed out highschool student.
