I kick
I flail
I’m sinking
Against the current I fight
I never learned how to swim
I’m fighting for my life
They say that when your drowning
Cooler heads will prevail
It must be nice to float along
But if I float I fail
I’ve been in peaceful waters
But I could never trust a pool
Because despite how calm it seems
The exception never counters the rule
My story is written from the white waters
a waterfall is its conclusion
Unless you felt this current
You’re observations are a derision
I swallow too much water at times
You’d think that I was saved
Because when they pull me out
you hear them call my name
But once they shock me back to life
They throw me in a pool and walk away
