Submerged
Toes dip in
to the deep water below.
I can’t move to get out.
Inch by inch
slowly sinking,
I raise my eyes to the sky.
My chest feels tight
I try to steady my breath,
Fearful of the surrounding solace.
I am still, unmoving.
It keeps coming.
Cold and unfeeling.
Lifeless without peace,
my head under water.
I am succumbing to the dark.
Denying the blackness…
drowning
deep
down
dying
