Water

My whole life, I've been in a tank.
There has always been water in it.
It filled the tank past my head.
But I had a life jacket. 
I could cope with the water.

There was no fear of drowning.
Until now. My life jacket has
been taken away, and I cannot swim.
The water is weighing down on me, 
pressing against me from all sides.

Drowning

Gasping for air
Down under the water
I come back up
Take a deep breath

Down under the water
Everything as murky blue
Take a deep breath
The water is bitter

Everything as murky blue
My vision is fading
The water is bitter
My eyes are closed

My vision is fading
The water caresses me
My eyes are closed
As my life leaves me

The water caresses me
Floating weightlessly
As my life leaves me
And I am free
