Waves - (for Pain Comp)

I am drowning
Excruciating pain
Comes in waves
As body parts
Experience swell
I lack the ability
The strength
To tread
To keep my head
Above the water
A life raft
Of medication
Offers no salvation
Meditation and a
Positive mental
Attitude
Fails as I flail
Around like a
Fish with
Human lungs
Trying to breathe
The water
I am going under
I can feel the
Darkness
Giant squid like
Dragging me
Down to the dark
Deep deaths
Of despair
I reach
Up to the
Surface
A last and
Desperate bid
To seek a rescuing
Strong hand
There is none
The drowning
Slowly continues
I am lost
All at sea
In an ocean
Of pain
