Drowning

Slowly drowning,
Struggling to breathe
Trying to keep my head
Above the surface

Dark waters creep in
Sucking me under
Calling out my name
Urging me to surrender

Silently fighting,
Resisting the urge,
That sweet temptation
To give up and sink

Soon the struggles will end
Even now, limbs grow weak
Frantically flailing about,
Trying to desperately to call out

NObody hears my cry
nobody sees my struggle
I can only pray someone does
Before the darkness closes in
