Drowning in Death


The waves come crashing,

It's so hard to breathe.

I reach out for help, and try to scream.

 

It's so hard to breathe,

I struggle and kick to the top.

And try to scream,

"Why won't someone save me?"

 

I struggle and kick to the top,

But the waves keep coming.

Why won't someone save me?

Slowly, I slip away into death.
