Drowning from Invitation by Michele Stodart

Drowning

I know it sounds funny but there’s this crash of a wave
That catches up with me and the words on this page
The knot in my stomach and the lump in my throat
Breathes heavy on my body, making it harder to float
Yes I’ll keep this dull aching pain, that anchors my shoulders
Feeds the need that I crave, to be this burning reminder
of the mistakes I have made

Moon I won’t need your promises to keep me safe at night
Sun come find me when you’re done shining
Bring back the darkness so I can hide
When I’m drowning
I’m drowning

I lay here surrounded by these four walls of nothingness inside of my mind
Getting smaller and smaller this space I’m sinking in
Crushing on into my everything
And no there’s nowhere left in this silence to hide
It creeps up on into you like a creature of the night
I’ve been wrestling with the monster drinking from my veins
Growing louder and stronger
Pulling me under her chains

Moon I won’t need your promises to keep me safe at night
Sun come find me when you’re done shining
Bring back the darkness where I will hide
When I’m drowning

I’m drowning
I’m drowning
I’m drowning
