Lifeguard


Knots

Twisted up inside me.

 

I'm dying just to breathe,

to cry.

 

But I can't.

Not here.

 

I want to just 

give up.

 

What if this feeling lasts,

and never leaves?

 

I'll be killed

by this impending tsunami...

 

Swallowed,

Suffocated,

Drowned...

 

I can't swim here.

 

Someone save me...
