Drowning

Everyone tells me I'm handling it well,
I'm just good at hiding how broken I am.
How I'm suffocating by my tin shell,
It feels as if I'm drowning all over again.

I went outside and smelled the rain,
I instantly thought of you and all the pain.
There you were deep inside my head,
Saying all the words you never said.

I'm underwater like an iceberg,
Nine tenths hidden, drowning,  completely submerged.
I'm  letting all my pain and mistakes go,
I'm sinking deeper going down, to the depths be-low.

As I sank down to the nothing that awaits,
I though back to all my self hate.
I'm losing my breath,
Because I have nothing left.

I open my eyes,
To see all the lies.
There you all are, surrounding me,
Knowing it was all a dream.
