Submerged

Head under water,
Eyes squeezed shut,
Lungs feel like bursting,
Darkness ensuing,
Air bubbles escaping,
Beyond my control.

As the darkness envelopes my mind,
I can numbly feel something tugging.
I emerge from the water,
Blink as the lights come into focus,
A familiar face in front of me,
One that has never forsaken me.
Strength returns to my body,
To push forward and move on.

Strength returns to my body,To push forward and move on
