i’m drowning

in the ocean; no land near

you’ll see me drowning surrounded by fear

i cry for help but no one hears

a wave appears, one filled with tears

i’m drowning

i’m drowning in this medication

this hospital stay is no vacation

you’ll see me often in contemplation

i’m trying to fight all this starvation

i’m drowning

i try to call but nobody will listen

i feel i’m trapped in my own prison

i try to stay focused and driven

i’m given this chance to start over

i’m drowning

it’s time for me to live my life

become happy again; just try to survive

i know someday soon i will thrive

it’s time to strive for better days
