Trapped In The Current

Swimming across the river.

Almost to the other side.

Getting tired

But feeling so close.

The current is getting stronger.

Hard to keep going.

I feel myself being pulled out.

I can feel myself slipping away.

Harder to move forward.

Something in my head tells me it's better to go with the flow.

I can feel myself slipping away.

Riding the current into oblivion.

Gulps of water replace the air.

Sounds become less.

Light is in the distance.

I almost reached the end.

I can feel myself being pulled from the water.

The exhausting breath, tired flesh, the mind broken.

I don't know why but I'm still here.

I guess that will always remain is that question.

Why am I still here?
