Drowning

Trapped beneath the surface,
I try ta reach the top.
I try to catch my breath again.
Never ta be known,
My life slips away;
Swept back under again.

Waves crash over my head,
Salt is sweeping in.
Water fills my lungs within.
Sinking down,
I float ta the bottom;
It's pointless again.

I see the shore
And I try ta swimming;
With all my life I swim.
Life leaves me now,
My body's going numb within
I'm dying again.
