I’m drowning!
The water’s cold, the waves are strong.
I’m tired.
I’m drowning.
The sky’s dark, the wind is cold.
Help me.
You see me.
Your hand is close, your boat is stable.
I’m drowning.
I see you.
Your face is black, your hands are shaking.
You’re afraid.
It’s late.
My legs don’t work, my mouth can’t close.
I’m dying.
It’s dark.
There are no sounds, the waves are stopping.
It’s calm.
I drowned.
The pain is gone, the life has passed.
I smile.
