Sunlight

I feel like I’m drowning.
Every day, I can feel the water filling my lungs,
Making it harder and harder to breathe.

I feel like I’m drowning
Like I’ll never make it to the surface.
Because, it’s too far, out of reach.

I feel like I’m drowning.
And I’m getting so tired of fighting, fighting
To finally see the surface, fighting
To finally see the sun.

I feel like I’m drowning.
But, I know I have to keep fighting
I have to keep fighting for my family
To finally see them in the sunlight.

I feel like I’m drowning,
And it’s so hard to keep swimming.
But, I can see the sunlight
Shining through the water and i know it’s close.
