Ocean waves crashing into me filling my lungs between every breath.

I feel the tension Gripping me tighter and tighter

I see the surface yet I cannot reach it

I am being both strangled and drowned by the demons that lurk the ocean depths

I know I can swim, Iv done it before.

I feel the incredible burning urge to breath and yet I am unable to feel the relieving feeling of crisp fall air flowing into my body like I once did.

Why did I come here?

Why am I trying so hard to hold on?

It would be so much easier to let go, to let the tide pull me under.

So I do...

I close my eyes and surrender to my fate.

For you can't give life without pain.

And in that very moment, it was born.
