Drowning

The waves are crashing,
Under them I am drowning,
Fighting them I am thrashing
As this wave is crowning,

Fear engulfs me
As the sea surrounds.
When I open my eyes I can’t see
All I can hear is deafening sounds.

Crystal caves,
Translucent sea,
The home of many graves,
As far as the eye can see.

Trapped underneath,
Unable to get free,
I’m crushed beneath
All the fear that resides within me.

I am drowning,
Can’t you see?
