In the water

I’m barely a float in these murky waters, trying to stay above the waterline all my life now, my energy has depleted. My body is sore from trying to stay a float. But it was all in vain. I’m sinking now, and my time is up. Drowning in these murky depths, no one can hear me screaming for help. I’m not even sure I want to be saved, or maybe I’m desperate for help. But the one I want to save me, to lift me out of these cold waters, doesn’t know it. And by the time they hear my scream it will only be an echo. And by the time they find these cold, murky waters; by the time they find me, see me, I’ll no longer be screaming. No longer in need if help. I’ll be floating once again.
