another random poem i wrote in class today. hope yall enjoy.

I'm drowning in sadness, my head below water watching everyone breathe.

I'm panicking; gasping for breath, I need to breathe but it's impossible.

Every time my head breaks above the water I'm just shoved back down.

I try to swim, but I have weights holding me back, I want to be free.

I'm tired of going under, of losing my breath, the longer I drown the worse it gets.

I wish I could breathe, even if it's a few days.

How long will it take for the drowning to end?
