Drowning

My body is weak The freezing water numbs me I know there’s barely minutes left I am tossed and turned by the rough waters The storm overhead is terrifying I know I will not survive I am barely able to keep afloat Each wave pulls me under I swallow water I come up gasping for air Only to be pulled back under I am drained of everything I have I don’t have the will to fight back I have nothing left On the inside I am dead already I can no longer move my body, my heart beat slows I surrender And I swallow water My lungs fill with water As I sink Sink, to the ocean floor
