Drowning
For those of us in situations, that make you feel desperate and alone, when it feels like noone feels your pain..
IN AN OCEAN OF DESPAIR I SWAM, I KICKED MY FEET AND WINCED MY HANDS ONE AT A TIME, AS MY ARMS GREW TIRED I KEPT SWIMMING.
I WAS TRYING TO GET TO SHORE.
I WAS HOLDING MY BREATH UNTIL I JUST COULDNT BREATH ANYMORE.
I LOST MY STROKE I COULD NO LONGER HEAR THE SPLASH OF THE WATER BEHIND ME.
I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN, WAITING FOR YOU TO FIND ME.
I KEPT SWIMMING, BUT THAN I STOPPED TO CATCH MY BREATH, I KEPT SWIMMING SHORT OF BREATH, TRYING TO STOP THE POUNDING IN MY CHEST.
I SWAM AND STILL COULDN’T FEEL THE GROUND. I WAS DROWNING AND YOU WERE NOWHERE TO BE FOUND.
