SAGE

Some people pretend they're strong. They do not wish to be rescued. But stronger people gravitate towards them because their true identity betrays their need to act strong. They're the ones who are always saved.
But there are those people who need saving. Everyone calls them strong. Nobody listens to their cries for help. everybody walked by, deaf and blind to my distress.
I was drowning in front of them. And even though they knew how to swim, they didn't jump in the water with me. They didn't save me.
And then he happened.
He gave me a hand, kept me afloat and pulled me ashore. He gave me dry clothes and he wrapped me in a blanket. He cuddled me as we stood on the bridge and gazed at the night sky.
And then with a smile, he pushed me off the bridge.
That was when I realized, he pulled me out, but he didn't teach me to swim.
As the darkness overtook the light, the green turned to sage.

"Yes except I'd like to add my own terms is that okay with you?"

Save Me
I was drowning. I knew that. I also knew that the hands around my throat, pushing me deeper into the river water was the cause. What I didn't know was who was drowning me and why. It hurt thinking. It hurt to do anything right now. But I still screamed under the cold water and pushed the hands away as hard as I could. It didn't have much effect. I fought and fought, but I was getting weaker, and colder. The pain was overbearing. I couldn't breathe. It was the worst pain imaginable; and as the hands that were around my neck were forcibly ripped off by some unknown force, I slipped deeper into the depths of the river. My hair was straight above me along with my arms. My eyes were open and the water burned. A darkness started to pull me under, taking the pain away. I felt a small pressure around my waist, before the darkness completely consumed me. The last thing I remember is thinking, save me.Complete
