Grab my hand
I'm drowning
I feel my heart pounding
Sitting on the balcony, looking over the waves of the ocean. I start to think, think of my family, of my friends, and how they would feel if I just let go. I can feel my heart pounding as I start to stand. I let go. Falling into the deep, the pressure of the impact makes me lose my breath, and I start to struggle, hoping for someone to come and rescue me. For I didn't want to leave. For I am drowning.
Say you're here
But I don't feel it
Give me peace
Struggling to stay upright, I can hear my sister scream in the distance. The water is so cold that I don't know if she'll make it. I quickly start to lose my energy, the water so cold that my veins start to freeze. Before I could scream for help again, I feel myself start to sink. I start thinking, why am I so scared of leaving? I wanted this, didn't I? I feel something pulling me up out of the water. It's sister. How did she get her so fast? She pulls me into her embrace to try to warm me up. "I'm here," she says, but I don't feel it. I don't feel her.
My eyes closing
My heart slowing
I'm finally at peace
