I drown in the swampy marshes

my soul is sucked in 

the air is pushed from my lungs

I look up to the world growing dim. 

in the boggy marshes of my 

mind,

lie hidden thoughts ensnaring,

my fragile sense of self

tearing, pulling, breaking,

destroying my broken heart

In bleak desperation I scream 

waiting for something unknown

empty is my heart

no thoughts dwell

complete silence

In the damp, 

the cold,

the dank

I search for warmth

I find myself clinging
