Sucking Water Through Soaked Lungs:

by Scott Cole   Sep 30, 2019


What is to fear.......
when there's no shallow waters
and your in over your head
your only life preserver
your boat
floats out of reach
along with it's dry anchor,

What is to fear.......
when your tired muscles
start pulling you under
water outweighs air
and you start to go down
like a breathless tanker.

What is to fear.......
when you taste your last gasp
but you never get to enjoy it
for then you die your death,
that thought you immediately get
right before that
when your mind silently whispers
there is no more air
yet you still need a breath.

Yeah that's the worst of it......
the drowning afterwards is the easy part
for that you don't even have to try.
