Lost to the creek

They thought it would be funny

They wanted me to be gone

They knew I couldn't swim

They knew I never learned

They pushed me in the water

The water coming up to my chin

I kicked my legs in a panic

I don't know how to swim

One of them is on me

Pushing my head under

I fight to keep afloat

But his hand is stronger

My limbs are weakening

My vision getting blurry

I try to call for help

But not a sound will emerge

I'm choking for air

My head underwater

My body won't work

I'm in submersion

Tears in my eyes

Lost to the creek

Air escapes my lungs

And I fall asleep.
