drownding

I edgily shuffle towards the end of the diving board
Then carelessly and carefree I decide to jump in and do the dive bomb
Splashing everyone looking on
I swam so freely at first like someone had opened a gate
Then around me the water started to coagulate
It fought against my every limb
Suddenly I couldn't swim
The harder I tried the closer I came to the floor
All I could do was try some more
I could feel the air escaping my lungs
Every move I make seems to be wrong
Fighting a battle I'll never win
Seeing my last earthly sights as my chest caves in
Maybe my feet might touch the ground
M6 head just above water so I don't drowned
Maybe it's just positive thinking
But for now I keep sinking
