Submerged

I'm submerged within this misery from head to toe

I'm running down a hollow path with no where to go

I'm gasping for relief, reveling in my own screams

Somehow this light inside is consuming my entire being.



I'm submerged within this pain from dusk till dawn

Everyones faces are so distorted, fake, flawed

I'm a living shadow, walking amoungst all the bitter hate

I'm relishing the fact I know I will never change.



I'm submerged within this hate from soul to body

I wish I could somehow get myself back onto my feet

I'm suffocating, drowning in every bit of what you left behind

I'm submerged within your death, I've given up trying.

This one I can most certainly relate to... I love the feeling of help and desperation vexing to your call. I love the rhyme and the reason to it. It's truly an amazing poem, m'dear. And the title says it all.
