swept away

Sometimes I feel like I'm going to drown.
I'm being taken out with the tide
Any second now, I'll stop kicking
and sink to the bottom.
Friends are easy to come by
when you're full of laughter
but once the laughter stops
they forget your number.
I used to be able
to think and plan
three or four steps ahead
but now I think life
has slipped way past me.
I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to say.
I think I'm going to drown soon.
I keep kicking but my legs
are starting to feel weak.
I just need to hear you say that
everything is going to be okay
even if we both know that
I've been caught up in the tide.
