I have nightmares sometimes
It’s a weird feeling to drown… even when it’s in your sleep
Water is a part of life
We need it to survive
And yet this fear grows with each passing moment
Once my eyes close the water seems to rise out of nothing
Suddenly I’m drowning
I thrash for what seems like eternity
But slowly I feel the energy drain from my body
My lungs screaming for air burn inside me
It’s scary to be drowning,
But its even more terrifying when you have to give up
I slowly move my hand towards the surface
Stretching out to eternity
The sun sparking above
How could something so beautiful be in a nightmare?
Slowly the pain subsides
My body relaxes as everything goes numb
With a sinking feeling I let out the last thread of life I had
The bubbles rise from my dying lips
Slowly they travel up to the very place I wish I could go
My eyes droop, and slowly I sink to the bottom
To nothing
This is my fear
