Sometimes keeping your head above the water is hard work..

I feel like I'm drowning.
Suffocating in a pool of water too far above my head.
I can't eat.
I eat too much.
I can't sleep.
I sleep too much.
I can't breathe.
It's sink or swim.
I want to sink.
But I want to swim.

Breathing is never easy.
