The Drowning

Headache,

Heart pound,

Breathe quick,

No sound.

Sweaty palms,

Stomach knot,

Baggy eyes,

No thoughts.

Feelings overwhelm,

6 feet under,

Push it down,

No surrender.

Approaching the base,

Darkening eyes,

Quivering mind,

No sighs.

First call,

Meltdown,

Breathe deep,

Swallow hard,

Drown.
