DROWNED

I once drowned... I remember...

Submerged in my own pool of pain and tears of sorrow

I thought it was the end for me; I was destiny to die from asphyxiation of it all

For I could not swim nor seem to stay afloat...

Someone reached out for me

Pulled me out and begin resuscitation; every breath given was breathing new life into me

That very moment I remember seeing the light...

For the pain I've endured was fertilizer for my growth

And those tears I once cried was only meant to water my soul
