One Day At A Time

Suffocating in my own distress
I can't find that fresh air to breathe
My lungs have collapsed
And I can't hold on for much longer
There's no way out of this nightmare.

An ocean of confusion drowns everything that lives
And takes me away
Until I find a way to swim to the surface
But I can't see the light that leads the way.

This life continues on
Feeding on every deprived emotion
That lurks inside my distraught mind
And takes me down
One day at a time.
