Drowning

I feel like I'm drowning,
Constantly drowning.
I can feel the heat of the pain
And I think it will remain.
I know I'm a terrible misery
Trying to keep you close to me.
The silence telling me to suffer
And I know that it gets tougher.
"Keep it down so down",
I hear my head keep telling me.
"Don't talk too much, they won't understand",
Rumbling through my mind.
Sometimes I just want to scream
But the silence continues to bury me.
And with all this pounding and doubting
I keep drowning.
