Recurring
The dreams
Stuck around for weeks
Every night
The same
Accused of witchcraft
Thumbs and toes tied
Pushed overboard
Middle of a lake
I feel the cold
Wetness
My clothes soak
My lungs burn
And the last thing I see
Is the person
Judging
Looking overboard
Watching me die
A past life?
Perhaps
Explains why I have a fear
Of drowning and
Deep water
Stuck around for weeks
Every night
The same
Accused of witchcraft
Thumbs and toes tied
Pushed overboard
Middle of a lake
I feel the cold
Wetness
My clothes soak
My lungs burn
And the last thing I see
Is the person
Judging
Looking overboard
Watching me die
A past life?
Perhaps
Explains why I have a fear
Of drowning and
Deep water

You are not alone to have such fears.mI will never again be on a ferry, never mind a huge transatlantic in the middle of the night.

I understand that. I've had bad experiences on boats in this life as well so I avoid the water because of that too

Hello: and yet Iam a swimmer. Strictly in pools where there are lifeguards on duty. Never in lakes etc. Please do not let fear of water make you afraid of learning to swim. It could save your life. Kisses, Robert.

I'm fine with pools or even the edge of the ocean. But deep water? Never again.
