Drowning
Struggling for air
Only water is seeping
Suffocating
This is my fate
Consciousness slowly evades me
A floating sensation engulfs my being
No escape
Panic long gone
A distant memory
Wishing only for deaths sweet embrace
My mind hazy and purple
Holding my breath
Slowly exhaling
On inhale
My life fades into space
