Drowned In My Dreams

Dragging me under,
Sleep tugged and pulled.
Down into the ocean,
Where my dreams took ahold.
 
Thrashed around in the water,
Fighting something I couldn't see.
But what was out of reach,
Was setting myself free.
 
Gasping and forgetting to breathe,
Watching as my sight turned red.
Seeing ghosts of my past,
Haunted by ghosts of the dead.
 
Reports of a missing girl,
But soon after, she was found.
But no one was happy,
Because the poor girl had drowned.
 
I struggled again,
Trying to forget what they said,
"She wasn't worth it,
So I hope she's dead."
 
My feet touched the bottom briefly,
Before I was knocked off my feet.
My mind forgot to work,
And my heart forgot to beat.
 
I wondered where I was,
Bathed in light with no sound.
But In seconds I realized,
That it was me who drowned.
