Drowning
Exhausted with stress
Feeling the burdening weight
The sudden longing to decompress
Realizing his tired state
Unable to continue
Acknowledging the weakness
He struggled and knew
Sinking into the darkness
Gasping for air
Reaching for help
Letting his last breath be a prayer
No longer would he yelp
The waters consumed him
Others did their best
But he couldn’t swim
Now his body will rest
