I have succumbed
To this painful
Empty
Drowning
Feeling of loneliness
I'm begging to be held
But flinching when anyone steps close
I'm lying at the bottom of the ocean
Reaching for the surface
But I can't reach it
Because I won't let go on this anchor
I'm not chained to it
I'm not stuck to it
Nor is it pinning me down
I'm holding on to it
And I can't bring myself to let go
I want to
But I'm so afraid
And I don't know why
I don't even know where this anchor came from
I don't know if it's even mine
But I won't let go
