Drowning My Sorrows by Tracy Whiteside

Drowning My Sorrows was born from so many emotions. The feeling of failure, of hopelessness, of sinking. The girl is not fighting. She has surrendered. I think there are moments when we all feel like giving up. We are just tired of trying to climb out of the sand pit. But when she hits the bottom, she will rise and once again determined, she will battle her way back to the place she belongs.
