Depths

I am at the depths
Deep below where there is no light
The pressure is heavy

It is too far to swim up
And I am running out of air
My eyes hurt
And my head is about to implode
The bottom is death
And it is inviting
It is inviting me to look down and accept

It is my fault that I am here
It is my fault I am this deep
I need to be saved
I need to be lifted
Take me to the surface and breathe life into me
