"I'm Fine"

I'm floating on water
Resting on the surface
Waiting to be dragged under
And searching for a purpose.
So close to escaping but
already too deep.
Laying silently,
Not wanting to speak.
They tell me it'll be fine
and it'll pass,
But it doesn't feel like that
as it continues to last.
I'm sinking
being tempted
but no one sees
me being affected.
