i'm still here, I think i hate it, i'm claustrophobic, but this is too open too wide, too unknown, take me back to where I feel safe, ill try to  open my eyes, it burns, its too blurry, its hard to breath but ill try to speak "I-s t-at y-u?" i don't hear anything bubbles are spitting out of my mouth water is spilling down my throat, my lungs are shrinking into raisins, where are you, i don't feel you your not coming to save me wait, why, why is it turni- ... ... "Mommy, but I don't want to swim."

This is why I'm terrified of the ocean, it's too open, too unknown, too many creatures lurking on all sides and there is no one to save me
