Drowning

Addressed to my Freshman Mistake #2:

I entered the ocean, with what I thought was a sufficient raft.
A raft that filled my days to create. A raft that gave me life while I was still ashore.
But indeed, a wooden plank does not compare to the majestic boat.
I was afloat for but a few minutes, before I began my descent.
But I was not even aware of the waters until it reached my lips.
By then, it was too late.
I was submerged.
