I feel as if I'm drowning.
As if the monstrous waves
Have finally succeeded in dragging me

Down down down

Into the unexplored abyss.
My eyes ache
From straining to see nothing,
My lungs are on fire
Trying to keep me breathing
My arms are leaden weights
Desperately trying
To keep me from sinking further

Down down down

And rather than me
Meeting the monster,
It's reaching

Up up up

To ensnare me
With its razor-sharp teeth
