bliss.

i turn to this often.

diving in the water,

i feel the need,

so i swim down further

pushing more than ever before.

soon its black,

not the deep blue im used to.

no its darker.

i dont know which way is up,

but i swim anyway,

searching for an escape.

i am running out of air now.

i can feel my lungs straining.

i fear they will collapse soon.

where is the light?

where is the sun i so desperately need?

i swim to find air.

my chest is burning,

is it on fire?

my nose feels funny,

is my mouth open?

there is the light!

the light coveted from before.

is it the sun,

or is it higher?

should i swim towards it?

wait, im not swimming anymore.

where is my body?

how am i moving?

i seem to float,

should i float to the light?

its looks nice.

it calls to me.

i get closer

closer

closer

closer.

bliss.

Nicely put...this has a really good progression. Great writing.

This kind of gave me chills at the end. "Closer. Closer. Closer. Bliss."
I like the first being unable to see the light, and then it's their and it's attractive; that was really good.
