Drowning

I can feel myself being pulled under,

Deep into the depths of the ocean

I look up; I can see the dim sunlight underneath the water

The last glimpse of sunlight I’ll ever see

I use my hands to claw on to whatever I can find

But to no avail, they splash through the murky sea

I think of all the things I’ve done

The good and the bad

And how they would reflect me in my passing

Like the reflections of the sky in the ocean

Through the light and the darkness

Through the sun and the storms

My life was merely just a chapter in a book

And my chapter would be passed over for more

For someone who had a chapter worth reading

I felt pain in my chest, from lack of oxygen,

and heartbreak

I wouldn’t be able to kiss my family goodbye

I would leave them behind to start my eternity

Forever drowning in the endless sea

I took a breath in,

My lungs filling with salt water

I began to choke, everything around me became dark

And there I was,

floating in the water, with nowhere to go

No one to see me

And I floated away, becoming one with the ocean

I was merely just a droplet of water in the world

A droplet that would be surpassed for something more

For another droplet that was pure..
