Sinking Shadows

Again, again, I'm sinking, it's silent,

A fight inside me, but I won't stay quiet.

I'm thinking, don't die yet—just hold on tight,

But the dark pulls me down, taking my light.

When it rains, it pours, and I can't catch a break,

Now I'm afraid,

Every time I hear the sound of the thunder,

When I lay, here awake,

My loneliness and heartache come in waves,

But I can't escape—though I prayed to be saved.
