I'm drowning in the shallow waters
And I'm trying so hard to reach the top
Something so pure, in the air to catch
I can see it above me

A breathe of freedom (release me)
A choice to change
A new direction (release me)
I feel so trapped (let me go)

And as the sunlight tries to guide me
I keep pretending there's nothing there
And now I'm so deep
No where near the end
And I keep going down, so down

I begin to see the person
Holding me, is me
Let it go
Let it go

I can't fight it
And I won't deny it
As times go by
I'll remember

That it's me who holds the key

Edit:
I just made a few very very subtle changes to this. Adjusted the levels and color a bit, added water texture, smoothened out her skin and soften her up to give her a hazy look like she's underwater (which is why it's a little blurry), added hightlights to her, the rays of light at the top and in her hair. You may not even notice. And if you do notice, hope you like it!

Edit:
Decided to edit this one a little more, simply because it's one of my fav pieces in my gallery (sentimental reasons) yet still needed improvments. I added more highlights to the hair, darkened the tones around her and the rays of light to give it more of a mysterious and eerie feel to it.
