Lost At Sea
I am drowning
I can’t breathe, I can’t see
The sea is swallowing me
I’m fighting,
Kicking and screaming,
Struggling to stay afloat
My limbs grow weary
My body wants to call it quits
My mind is not for it
Panic sets in cause land is not in sight
Nothing to hold on to
Just a sea of blue
Eyelids grow heavy
Breathing becomes ragged
I am tired
The waves wash away my tears
But the feelings are all still there
Is this it?
No boat in the distance
No raft to cling to
No driftwood at all
I begin to sink into the briny deep
The fish lay waiting
Eyes open
As are mine and I look back
Losing air as I hit the floor
I lay down
As I choke out the last breath
Two words in mind
Good night
