Drowning

Emotions break through the floodgates of my mind, 
Raging winds spindle past with endless fury, 
Waves crash down and trample through learned paths. 


Cursing, crying, pleading, 
Begging, pity, 
Rains down in short seasons. 


I Sink down in my ceaseless lies, 
Tugging at my sinful cloak. 
Further and further I fall, 
With boots of cement cutting the way. 


Below me I see my destined course,
Lined by darkness, 
Consuming all. 


Sharp objects, 
Cut through my tender flesh, 
This open wound, 
Which does not heal. 


I land upon my knees, 
Broken and dismantled. 


Here is my plea.
