Drowning

I am being pushed beneath the surface 
Drowning in my shame
I don't think they realize it's a game,
I don't want to play
So I stay hoping I will soon decay 

Society doesn't take me as I am 
So why bother trying?
The word worthless replays in my head, 
Keeping me confined 
So I stay here hating on mankind

I remember the names I've been called
Its keeping me down 
I don't think they realize I am submerging,
Into complete darkness
So I stay here feeling lifeless

The breath of my body is leaving now 
Turning me death blue
The word worthless keeps on replaying 
continuing me to sink
so I stay here hoping I will soon shrink

I open my eyes for one last time 
A face appears above 
The darkness that once surrounded me turns to light
You have worth, You have purpose
so with that a hand reaches down and I resurface
