Drowning

Pulled down to the depths

I feel that I am going under

Swept away I struggle now

Gasping for my last breath

Choking me - I can not breathe

Liquid vision, all I see

Drifting - no sign of life

Floating dead

The tide carries me

Fluid fills my lungs, as my eyes open wide

I can't reach the surface - no sense of true direction

My body turns - violently

Cramping limbs - to weak to swim

Drifting - no signs of life

Floating dead

The tide carries me

Drowning too weak to swim

Floating dead - the tide carries me away

Submerged in this grave

My body set a drift

Skin is white and cold

Sinking to the depths

In this liquid terror

Dead and motionless

Drifting - no sign of life

Floating dead the tide carries me

Drowning too weak to swim

Floating dead the tide carries me

Crushed by rocks and current

I float up to the surface

My body washed ashore - swollen from exposure

Black and blue, lifeless dead

Suffocation - in liquid

Drifting - no sign of life

Floating dead the tide carries me

Drowning too weak to swim

Floating dead the tide carries me - away
