"That Sinking Feeling"

"That Sinking Feeling"

by:

Virgilio F. De leon Jr.MD

I

One more door closes on my day

And I ask why is it this way?

When you try harder , work harder

And fate seems to still hold sway

II

When it feels like being swept aside

by all these waves of time

And you swim against the flow

only to find that you are dragged under

III

So I feel like I am drowning

and the air just escapes my lungs

And I am sinking , sinking further

And I see the light fading in the Loch

IV

I reach out for the light

And the current just pulls stronger

I scream their names and I try to wake

but even in reality still falling , falling.
