Desper -air- tion

My body plunged downward.

With no lifesaver to hold on to, I

sank

down

down.

I felt my lungs shrivelling

The air was gathering and was begging for a release

that I refused to give.

The muscles in my arms and legs began to twitch

and sting.

All attempts to rise to the surface had been pointless

I just sank

lower

A heavy pressure was then set all over me

Like my own anchor,

I sunk myself

My arms went loose,

And my body went numb

My lips parted and freed its captives-

They escaped above me.

Silver spheres in the light.

The cold dark liquid then trapped me in its strong hold

And I sank

deep

into the blue sea.
