Submerged.

Holding your breath, you hear nothing

But your heart, keeps a-thumping

You look around you and it’s blurry

Your hair is a mess, it’s own little flurry

You move slowly, inching towards the surface

But your mind wanders off, you’re losing focus

There’s a bright light moving towards you

Embracing it’s warmth, letting it cascade over you

Suddenly you open your eyes

You’re not in the ocean but laying in your room, to your surprise

You start to tear up yet, you don’t know why

As bad as it sounds you want to go back

Down into the vast darkness; dark and black

No one is there to critisize you or make you feel like crap

No one, *chuckles* you like the sound of that

Being alone submerging yourself in your thoughts

Doing the complete opposite of what you were taught

Creating scenarios in your head

Thinking to yourself or lounging on your bed

Being alone and having time to think

I’d rather be thinking about anything than what other people think

Whether it be of you and what you look like

Or how you’re constantly making a fool of yourself because that’s what you feel is right

Lost in your own thoughts you can be yourself

No trouble being caused, no drama having to be dealt

There’s a knock at your bedroom door

You’re no longer in the ocean crying on your floor

Your mother thinks that something is wrong

 ‘Nothing’ you say, now back into reality, where you feel you don’t belong
