Giving in

by ems   Sep 27, 2006


I'm swimming all alone in a pool of darkness
and I feel like darkness is slowly pulling me under
I yell for help but no one is here
I begin to see the water at eye level
and I kick and flail
fighting to stay above the darkness
But the darkness won't let go of me
and I give in
to the feeling that lies below
the water fills my lungs
the lungs that once held so much life
yet now they allow the murky water to replace that
I know this path doesn't lead to happiness
But I can't get out
why doesn't someone grab my hand
pull me from darkness' grasp
I know why
it's because no one knows I where I am
I'm here standing at
the boundary between light and dark
so I give in to the thing that holds me
All of the strength and all of the courage
that I once held in my heart
can't save me from the water
I slowly slip below the water
I don't want to fight anymore
Someone please help me
