Keep it together 
Maintain control 
Tighten your grip
It slips
Damage control
Gather it up
The harder I hold
Farther the slip
Inching under
Tread
Kick harder
Don’t lose it
Maintain control 
Something grabs a hold
Pulls me under
Sinking
Gasping
Submerged 
Noise around turns to white 
Maybe it's not so bad
To slip under
Float away 
Lungs throb 
Can't take it 
Let me up for air
