Lost At Sea

I am drowning I can’t breathe, I can’t see The sea is swallowing me I’m fighting, Kicking and screaming, Struggling to stay afloat My limbs grow weary My body wants to call it quits My mind is not for it Panic sets in cause land is not in sight Nothing to hold on to Just a sea of blue Eyelids grow heavy Breathing becomes ragged I am tired The waves wash away my tears But the feelings are all still there Is this it? No boat in the distance No raft to cling to No driftwood at all I begin to sink into the briny deep The fish lay waiting Eyes open As are mine and I look back Losing air as I hit the floor I lay down As I choke out the last breath Two words in mind Good night
