The waves kept coming
Over and over,
Each one lasting longer
As it rolled over my head.
And suddenly,
I knew.
There wasn't a way out of this;
No one could save me.
How would they know
I was in the middle of drowning?
How would they reach me?
I wasn't mad,
Though.
Because I knew
That it was God's plan.
And soon,
It would all be over,
And I would meet
The love of my life.
Jesus.
The pain,
The suffocating pain,
As it squeezed my throat,
It would all go away.
And I was prepared.
* * *
A thought crossed my mind.
What would happen
To all the people I cared about?
Delilah,
Ingrid,
Shane,
And yes,
My parents.
I hoped they would be okay,
And that they would find God,
Although I know
That Shane and Ingrid have Him.
But I know my family doesn't...
* * *
I can feel myself slipping away...
It's hard to
breathe...
And
My throat is burning...
Blackness is curling
Around the edges of my vision...
* * *
I wonder what heaven will be like...
I never really learned much about it...
And then I think of the first time I went to youth group.
It was going to be
like a perfect Earth,
Where there was no pain
Or suffering,
And it's filled with love
And glory...
I can't wait to get there.
I don't want anymore pain
or suffering...
* * *
The wave won't let up this time,
I can feel it.
It won't let me get a gasp of air.
And I can't hold my breath anymore...
* * *
I suck in for air,
That isn't there...
And then I'm choking....
* * *
I
can't
breathe
* * *
Light
clouds
my
vision
* * *
It's
Beautiful...
* * *
The End
