The feeling of clawing at the throat

It takes hold when you least expect it

The waves rising and falling

Just as your moods do


Do you break through the surface?

Or let it pull you under?


There's no time for thinking

Only the pull of your feet

And panic


Under the water

Reaching out

But it's too late


The current pulls you farther under

And no one helps

No one understands

How could they?

When just a few moments earlier

You had found comfort in the pull


The water envelops you

Slowly suffocating

Gargled bubbles reach the surface

But no sound

The sunlight slowly slipping away

And there's a sense of restless comfort
