Kemanie Abraham (May 16,1995 / St. Thomas, United States Virgin Islands)
Drowning In The Water
Where is what I want to say,
But my heart screams nay
Death, despair, sorrow all define
Me the one that forgets time.
Cut, kill, cut deep
Is all I think when I weep.
Cutting my flesh will free my soul
I'm my mind I've lost everything to
Depression and despair
Heart shattered I mush pay the toll
I have nothing except these shattered remains
I'm afraid, I must take to the grave
Despair and depression leads my thoughts
I must drown them out in my water
Or drown myself in the water.
