the water is cold


it hasn't warmed I just keep dropping deeper and deeper


I can't breathe yet I feel like I don't need to

I can't swim the ability was taken long ago

with little motion, I reach out again hoping for a hand to hold


a hand does grab but not in the way I want

it yanks me further

to the point where I can't see any of the light from above


what did I do to deserve this?

I wish I knew



a light it shines it gets closer


it's not death its a person

swimming down for me


for me?

its nothing but a child trying to change someone where a child would not help


yet the hands are coming loose

yet he grabs me and attempts to pull me


but he can't he is too weak

he slowly sinks too


yet more lights come

more wishing to drown 


yet they don't 

they grab me too 

and I finally float up

the surface what I want yet


not what I need

I left something 

but I do not care for I finally see the land again the land...


drowning

no light 

the hands have let go yet I do not float up

I was dragged up yet I'm still here

they saved one and now they must save the other


yet they don't 

have I been forgotten? 


only time will tell


the hands grab again

and further, I'm pulled down
