Underwater

I hold my breathe
Underwater I've forced myself under
Not a bubble leaves my mouth
Or a twitch come over my limbs
I just sit
Submerged in the liquid
Unwilling to pull myself out
And unwilling to grab the hand
That shall break the surface
Of the still water to reach me
Yet I am still afraid of drowning
'I do not want to die'
I say under the water
That suffocates my lungs
With no intent of moving
