I'm reaching,
screaming,
Drowning in tears.
Crying,
not smiling,
choking,
not breathing.
Drowning unaided.
I'm begging,
pleading,
can't you hear me?
I am drowning.
I am calling.
I was calling.

Drowning
I'm reaching,
screaming,
Drowning in tears.
Crying,
not smiling,
choking,
not breathing.
Drowning unaided.
I'm begging,
pleading,
can't you hear me?
I am drowning.
I am calling.
I was calling.
