Suffocated by what is around my neck
Unable to speak the words inside
Unwilling to talk
Unwilling to express my thought
I'm down
I'm surrounded by shadows
Engulfed by them
I am one that fears to say
I'm scared
I'm sad
I'm...
There are trails of liquid falling from my eyes
I wish to feel the distance
To be surrounded by the waters
So my voice isn't heard
To break away to... Separate
To cut the strings around me
Many struggle more than me
I should conceal my troubles
Not trouble the troubled
I shall drink the water that surrounds me
Till I no longer can drink
Till no voice is heard
