DrowningMan

Here’s how it goes 
The desperation sets in 
the I’ll take anything 
of it all and 
then the remorse pulls
you under like a 
drowning soon to die 
dead man and you 
break free and claw
and tear and finally 
at last breathe again 
and then right there 
you realize that you 
are not a drowning 
man but that you 
are and always will 
be alive and desperation
belongs only to those 
souls who can’t swim 
and that one day 
at last you will 
be happy that you 
didn’t follow them down 
and into the depths 
of that that desperation
