Description I can't see
Can't breathe
My lungs burn
My heart thunders
My mind screams
My body aches.
I'm drowning.

Can't catch me
Can't save me
Can't hold me
Can't bring me back.

My heart isn't yours
You don't know me
Let my spirit fly
Free of your grasp.
I want to scream
I want to cry
I want to live
I want to die
Can't make up my mind
Don't really want to
I'm drowning.

Push me
Pull me back
Condemn me
Free me
Set me free.
Invisible chains
Hold me tight.
Iron weights
Hold me down.

I can't see
Can't breathe
My lungs burn
My heart thunders
My mind screams
My body aches.
I'm drowning.

My blood
My tears
My joy
My pain.
I'm drowning.

Can't catch me
Can't save me
Can't hold me
Can't bring me back.

My heart is yours forever
My mind is open to you
You let my spirit fly
Because I'm drowning.

Can't catch me Don't catch me
Can't save me You won't save me
Can't hold me No one can hold me
Can't bring me back. It's over, I won't be back


Try to vary the verbs you use a little more, especially if you're using a verb to start a line. The stuff in italics isn't wonderful, I know, but it does flow a bit better. I have writer's block, cut me some slack. But I think it gives you the general idea of what you should try to do. I don't recommend to be verbs but I'm too tired to figure out how to do it with active ones without ruining the meaning and message you're trying to protray.

Also- try
Lungs burning
Heart thundering
etc.

(Getting rid of excess "mys"
By the way- I like the choice of verbs you used to discribe how the organs felt.

Like I've said before, try to limit words.

I'd love to see you redo one of your pieces sometime.
