Near Drowning
I can't hold out any longer.
I can't make the climb-
I thought I was stronger...
They won't get here in time.
Hopeless, I breathe in.
The sun burns in my eyes.
Lungs like fire- how strange...
Covered in blankets as my body dries.
Hot outside, cold inside, immense pain.
They must have made it in time.
