Suffocated..

I was pushing myself so hard that it had become hard to remember who I really am.
I was pushing myself hard to be a puppet in people's hands to please them.
Again and again I lifted my head above the dark waters to breathe in some life in me.
But I was cuaght up in a whirlpool and I was being pulled down, unaware of myself.
Breathing was not easy..
But deep down in my heart I had faith,
And that kept the light in me alive and burning,
And this is what saved me, to see this day today..
FAITH !
