Its been a while since I have felt this way,
I feel like I am drowning into that humongous ocean,
My eyes being closed, and I was scared to even breath.
The moment I respired the water came running into my lungs,
I was Struggling to swim,
Though I was
Trying to inhale each puff of air,
I started to see from where I began, those wonderful days and those mesmerising nights.
These sequence of thoughts drove me back to those serene crimes
I started to give up
I let myself drown
Suffocated and I couldn't take it
Quitting was never really an option was it?
I panted like that small baby
Who was lying on his death bed.
I tried and tried to come off from where I was.
I let my eyes open for a while,
The view seemed blurry
Yet I didn't worry.
Kept on moving my arms back and forth,
Though it didn't shorten my way.
I knew I was bound to stay away,
Away from all the miseries

I started screaming amen  that no one could hear but me.

I somehow reached upto the shallow marked
Like god gave me the will to do so,
I survived the biggest nightmare of all times
I drowned then I swam, something I could have never done
I wish, I would have just gasped a lil bit of air before I entered the waters.
But hey! No regrets,
Life will leave you speechless many a times,
Its your choice to get up
And knock it down
Like a glassy cup!
