I am drowning
In the tears I cry of self pity
Within the darkness of my heart
When I'm alone

I am drowning
In the black ocean of nightmares
Whenever reality brushes dreams
And I am what I am terrified to become

I am drowning
In the expectations that they hold
Be perfect
Be perfect

I am drowning
In the experiences I wouldn't send my worst enemy to
Not hard seeing as
My worst enemy is me

I am drowning
In my panics
In my fears
I am drowning in myself
Because no matter what, I will never be good enough.
