Drowning

Going for a swim

Currents racing in

Trying to fight the waves

Back to calm waters

Smacked across the face

Being dragged under

Twirling in the whirlwind

The current drags you deeper

While darkness closes in

Your body struggles for control

While the current has all the power

Your mind tries to regain consciousness

To think of what to do next

Wave upon wave smashing you down

Difficult for you to breathe

Fear begins to sink in

Is this the end?

Do I cease to be?

The water is cold 

While running out of air

Sinking fear from head to toe

Accepting whats to come

If its my time than nothing can be done to fight the tides

Giving in to the water

Let the waves have their way 

Accepting every turn and allowing it to happen

But soon the current weakens

Fore Arms can be straightened

And darkness lightens

The rushing waves tame

Your body breaches the surface

Breathing in pure oxygen

Relief you made it through the struggle

But now the true test begins

Do I take another swim?

And venture the shaking waters

Or do I change my approach?

And head to calmer waters

For only time will tell
