Almost Like Drowning

busy
cluttered
suffocating
responsibilities
heavily-weighted shoulders

nighttime
pressure
tired eyes
darkness closing in
what is going on?

big wave
cold
downward spiral
thunderous silence
flush it all away

silt
bubbles
crashing
destruction
where am i going to go?

empty
alone
bare walls
muddy floors
where is all the "stuff"?

calm
exhale
peacefully quiet
completely still
it's almost like drowning
