At the end of the day...

Can you feel it, bubbling, boiling, rising....

Breathe, just breathe.

It's easy to ignore when it skims your toes,
barely noticible when it splashes at your ankles,
annoying when it pools at your knees,
frustrating when it's overtaken half of your body,
but suffocating when it submerses your entirety.

I am lost in the waves, being torn at, gasping for air, for peace, for hope.

Help me.

I can't see in the darkness, and it would be only too easy to give into it...
the anger and the rage that pushes and pulls me, yearning to control me, to drown me, to overtake me entirely.

I don't even know how to fight something I find so natural and somewhat appealing.
Please make it stop.
