Drowning

I’m fighting voices in my mind

Grabbing unto hope that begun to unwind

Walls broke down to remind me of my mistakes

Secrets pouring out with each move I make

Consequences were there but I ignored it

Now I’m knee deep, impossible to quit

Paying the price was never really simple

Should have thought of that before plunging in the middle

To be fair I’m not perfect I doubt I ever will be

 But I tried to be selfless, someone to help when you’re lost at sea

You got out okay, stronger, revived

While I took the risk of drowning to keep you alive
