Subject: Lost in transition 


I’m drowning with the waves.

And I can’t even escape.

I was once a swimmer,

Now? I’m a goner.


I can't swim with the tide.

Because sinking feels like a quiet night.

It’s eating me alive, but it's fine—

I'm not even trying to be revived.


I tried to save myself and move forward.

Even though the path feels blurred and awkward.

What should I do when all I can feel is blue?

But something in me whispers, "See this through."


How can I save myself when I'm surrendering my youth?

It may sound pathetic, but it's the truth.

I am too young to feel this weight.

But I am also too old not to face this and change my fate.
