Breathe

I feel like I'm underwater... drowning in a sea of pain... weighed down by the sorrows of a wounded heart... struggling against an unseen current that continues to pull at me, further and further away from shore and deeper into the shadows of the deep, into it's dark unknown reaches, away from the clarity of fresh air. Darkness threatens to envelope me and steal my life from me... ... but today I made a promise, a promise to do all I can to hold on... and so I'll keep fighting, fighting against that unseen current, fighting against the darkness... fighting towards the light, fighting to breathe... I promise I'll keep fighting... and even if the darkness claims me, at least I'll know that I didn't stop fighting.
