Jump
Feeling it hit my lungs
Engulfing my body
Stealing my life away
I knew it was coming yet
I was unprepared
Salty water stinging my eyes
My throat burning
No sounds can come out
I'm sinking in this disaster
Now I realize
That sometimes
You just have to
Close your eyes
Take a deep breath
And jump...
