Drowning

A true story.

He pushes me underwater,

He will not let me go.

I didn't take a breath,

I will die and no body will know.

He holds me down,

As I try to swim up.

He puts himself on top of me,

I cannot reach air.

I am slowly loosing myself.

I feel my soul start to depart.

I have a vision,

Of me, father and son.

It gives me hope.

I struggle,

 trying to get back up.

He let's me go,

as I get away.

I look around,

No one saw.

It's the busiest day at the pool.

And nobody saw at all...

Not even the lifeguard,

Not a single child.

I was under there for quite a while.

I felt myself start to slip away,

I nearly died,

But I survived and lived another day.

Well, you have my condolences to the personality that departed your body that day; for it seems you adapted a much more hopeful persona as of right now, no? For a second, I could've sworn writers cafe glitched up on me (again) and listed my poem under your account; that is until I unraveled the story held within your poem, heh.

This poem is actually about me drowning.But thank you for your interuptation and review :)

I knew what you mean, I was stating that before the drowning started, you seemed quite the hopeless person. Once you emerged from the waters, you make it seem as if you emerged a more strengthful person.

Hm, yes. I did actually.
