Swimming in a pool
of sorrow, pain and grief.
Trying to stay afloat
Amidst the toiling, angry sea.

Writhing, squirming...
No longer free.
Struggle against the chains
Which bind and sheath...

Futile, it seems;
Your're trapped. Angry,
Seething.

Foaming at the mouth,
Unable to speak.
Your mind, a spinning mess.
Drowning in misery.

Nobody listens, nobody can see
All the dormant memories.
They can't hear the past,
the words spoken to me.

All the pain, sorrow, grief...
Passed down to me.
Engulfing me.
Ending me.
Ever....so slowly.
