Choked

One step into the ocean, two hands choking the air out of me My eyes blur and go out of focus, my tears giving up on me. Gasping for air, the hands grab me tighter Reminding me all over again, that I’m no fighter. I try push away, I try to escape But the water pushes me down, I think it’s too late. The world goes quiet, and I think it’s the end But my hands let go, Saying “you’ve got another day my friend.”
