Swimming
It's a black wave
It hits you gradually,
Then all at once.
It drowns you
You can't call for help
Everyone sees you
They think you know how to swim
Everyone watches you
They realize you havn't gotten air
They scream
"Learn how to swim!"
They realize you cant
They come to help
But in reality,
You can only save yourself.
