*drip, drip, drip.* the only sound I hear as my body lays beneath the water that fills the tub, the sound echoing bouncing off the walls and into my ears. Slowly I shut my eyes as I let the water slowly cover more and more of my face until I'm completely underneath, I wait a minute, then two until I can't breathe. I struggle to resurface as I feel the pressure in my lungs, the air desperately trying to escape and re enter my lungs with each breath my body wants to take. Until darkness consumes my sight and mind, only to re open and see the wonders of a sea. I am floating adrift on a wooden board, I look around to only see the water, no land to be found. Panic fills my minds I start shifting and moving until I just fall back off the board and into the deep blue sea. I struggle to return to the surface, this white drape material that covers my body limiting my amount of movement and ability to float to the top, I almost reach the top when a hand grasps me by my arm and pulls me down. Trying to make me stay to die, it was my demon inside. We punched and kicked desperately trying to be free of this dreaded monster, to live and forget. Even being swallowed into one of the deepest parts of the sea I still could feel each tear drop from my eyes as I slowly escaped. I kicked, I screamed, I faced my demon and broke free of my past, to live and forget. Even with this struggle I manage to regain my composure and surface once more. *big gasp* I regain consciousness as I look left and right to see the bathtub I once struggled to escape. My breaths shallow and heavy as the tears begin to fall once more, the demon inside that burnt out my light, has finally been shunned, now left to be hung. My head in my hands and knees to my chest I breathed and I thanked the world for one last chance.
