I'm swimming alone in a pool of dark water, and feel it pulling me under. I try to yell for help but no one is close enough to hear. I begin to see the water at eye level and I kick and flail, fighting to stay above the darkness.
The darkness won't let go and water fills my lungs.
I stand at the boundary between light and dark. I have neither strength, nor courage. I slip below, undetected by the occupants of the world. I don't want to fight anymore.
I'm listening and I hear you.
