My pulse is racing my throat is dry,
I look up to the sky, I wonder why?
Tears flow I wipe them away dry
Why do I fall down the harder I try?

Look into the deep below, got a lump in my throat,
I close my eyes, falling, sink like a stone,
Water fills my mouth with a saltwater choke,
My heart is racing, pulse pulsating, waiting to explode.

I stop my body from moving and begin sinking,
Want to stop my body and mind feeling and thinking,
Deeper I float, lights above me blinking,
Thoughts are tripping my mind is slipping.

For now I have given up the human race,
Eyes salt water stinging, water surrounding my face,
Last memory salt-water taste,
Thoughts, pain, emotions now fade away.
