fear of drowning: part II

----------
I'm gonna do this, I dive in with confidence

But it's not long before I find myself


Reaching up, gasping for air

I see them sit there
Are they wondering if they should help me?

Slip back under
I intake water

I start to panic more and more
Find myself sinking lower and lower
Waiting for that hand to reach in and pull me up
But noone comes. I try as hard as I can to get up and take that one breath.

I find my way to the top, breathe in.
It occurs to me, everyone just gave up.

I look down at what could have taken the best of me. I take another breath.....


And I dive back in.
