Save my life

 Sinking

Drowning

Going Down.

My life has a way 

of pulling me down.

into the depths.

Depths of despair...

dark, cold, swirling

desperate.

But does the world know 

that I am drowning?

There is a certain calm

in the chaos of drowning. 

I'm told that

it doesn't look like drowning. 

Which makes it hard to realize

that a life needs to be saved. 

I need to be saved.

Save my life,

I'm sinking.

O Lord,

Let this not be the end.

Give me the knowledge

to recognize the disaster. 

Let this story not be tragic,

not a story of weakness and loss.

But of rebirth,

of growth,

of slow and steady endurance. 

Save me

and then empower me.

Teach me to swim.

Show me the signs.

Let me not go down for the last time.
