Drowning

Drowning drowning drowning
A state of being
Iām forced to reside in
Drowning drowning drowning
Iām buried deep in
Responsibility and hardship
The weight of the familyās burden is held by me and only me
While the others look away as I struggle to stand up right
With a 50kg weight wrapped around my neck and shoulders
Drowning drowning drowning
Iām finding it hard to breathe
People look on and ignore me
As Iām fading into the sea
The current sweeps over me
As I contemplate the sweetness of giving up my last breath
As fighting and struggling seems harsher then death
Questions of self pity assault my mind
āwhy me?ā āwhy am I the only one who has to suffer?ā 'suffer with this pain'
However the complaints fall on deaf ears
As I am chained by my sole āresponsibilityā
