I sunk deeper into the water

As I struggle for breath

The salt seeps in

Pouring out of my lungs

Dehydration, yet relaxation

And I feel free from responsibilities

Free to unlimited possibilities

Free to be me as I sink down

Nothing but darkness surrounds

You can hardly hear a sound

The pressure of the water above my head

Is pushing me deeper down

I curl into a fetal

And cry nonexistent tears

As my life flashes before my eyes

Playing all of my previous years

My skin is pale and there is no breath left in me

No more struggle to breathe

I see a light before me

I feel free

But there's a pressure I feel on my chest

The light gets farther until I cannot see

I awake cold and wet

On a boat with some men

They tell me that they saved me

But I jump back in the end
