Drowning
Drowning
The water cold, dark, hungry
My hands and legs fighting
Struggling
Bobbing up and down
Head going under
The water so cold
So cold it could be death itself
The icy fingers closing on my throat
Shaking my head furiously
Droplets spraying everywhere
Like a dog
Ironic
Isn't that what I am?
Why?
This isn't such a big deal
Not like the others
Who succumbed to the water
Mountains out of molehills
So tired
That's all
Strength seeping from my limbs
I don't want to fight
Anymore
There's no point
I'll never make it to the light
The titanic struggle is meaningless
Heartless
Spiritless
Soulless
All faith has drained away
The dark and cold sucking it out
All hope
I don't care
I really don't care
I have only one desire
Filling me up to the brim, overflowing
I just want it to end
Please
Again, I am a dog
Pleading, begging
Down on my knees
Saltwater and freshwater mixing on my cheeks
In my lungs
Where the frigid air is as sharp as a knife blade
Black oblivion of pain
Taking over
I don't have to fight
I can just give in
Surrender
My white flag flapping
Like the happy dog's tail
I am not that dog
Water swallows me up
I am a rag doll, limp
Submissive
Cold replaced with numbness
Numbness replaced with warmth
Spreading through me
Like the crimson swirling and staining the water
