Sinking Poem by Rachel Brewer

I feel like I’m sinking into the ground.
The devil has a firm grip on me and he isn’t letting go.
He’s pulling me into the depths of despair.
He’s not giving me the chance to breathe.

I need to feel some release.
If he pulls me any further, I won’t be strong enough to make it back.
Pulling me down into his world.
Taking me away from my own.

Too late.

I feel like letting go now.
I have no strength left, no courage to lift me from this place.
The ground will swallow me,
And there’s nothing I can do about it.
