Drowning Poem by Kim Reinagle

Everything coming to a head
Storm is strong, no end in sight
Sinking quickly
No where to turn,
No one to assist
Must try to stay afloat,
Must try to save myself
No life preserver to be found
Swimming, Bobbing,
Weighted down
Water crashing down,
Water getting rougher
Going under but
Fighting back to the top
Never-ending battle.
Trying Regroup thoughts,
Trying to find new focus
Trying to remove unnecessary things
Waters calming
Notice items floating towards you,
Seeing these things in a new light
And using them to your advantage
Relax and float, continuing though to be aware
In the Horizon
Help is on the way
Breathe easier but know
You are not out of the water yet
