Escape To Space

Drowning

I struggle to the top

Fighting my way through the current

Pushing me every Which way

My arms flail

My legs kick

I grip at nothing

For nothing is there

I want to scream

I want to cry

But I silently make my way

Not showing weakness

Not showing I need help

I fight

fighting

I make it

Bursting through the surface

I gulp down air

Letting it fill my lungs

Sighing in relief

Only to be dragged

Back into the depths

The darkness engulfing my sight

The water filling my lungs

And the fight

Is all gone

As I slip deeper and deeper

Unable to bring myself to the surface

I manage

A meek

And weak

Help

Before letting it take me back down

As I slip away
