Sea of Emotional Distress

All around I see people drowning; or atleast I think I do. It feels as though they are reaching and pulling at me; begging for me to save them. Or it feels as though they are retreating further into themselves until I can no longer see them clearly. The feeling that something isn't right is so profoundly embedded in my physical being that movement and stillness are equally as painful. Everyone is upset and I want so badly to fix whatever is wrong that I am overwhelmed. But nothing is wrong. No one is pulling at me or running from me; instead I am flailing about with ridiculous conviction. The ones around me simply watch because they are unaware of the water filling my lungs. All that is seen is what I have projected and perhaps they begin to wonder if im crazy or if my mind is so full darkness that I can't be helped. But do they feel the pain I've given them; the pain I can not own for fear I may never reach shore. I am drowning and retreating. I am at this moment not entirely okay but I can't judge the wave of undesired emotions I can only simply let them come.
