Adrift

I am drifting again,

Floating in the back of my mind-

Lost.

I struggle to come to the surface,

But it's a losing battle-

A speck of sand

Fighting against the flow

Of the pounding waves.

It drowns me in emptiness,

And leaves me hollow.

I'm trapped in a prison of flesh and bone,

The only respite when I bleed razor red.

I want to break free,

Want to feel again.

But the tide is ignorant of my cries-

It goes on and on,

Crushing.

Suffocating.

Killing me slowly.
