Drowning
You tell me i am your superhero
I am Batman
I swoop in, save you from this endless pit of self hatred
I swoop in, save your grades from a perilous plummet
I swoop in, throw my mental health out the window, i swoop in and save you from your own worst nightmares
But I am weak
Sometimes this endless pit of self hate sucks me in and
I go down, down, down
I look up, extend a hand
You frown and ask why I'm drowning
Everyday i choke on the smoke of your billboard romance
I crack under pressure, you give me a gllance
I'm drowning and you're asking me for swimming lessons
Submerged, these voices they
Asphxiate me, watch me bleed
Year me down until i cannot see
Convince be this is all i can be
I'm just a small terrified girl
In a large, terrifiyng world
I am not Batman
I'm still afraid of drowning
