Arising, all these thoughts.
All this pain I thought would never end.
Haunted, shocked,
so caught up in the sorrows of the moment,
that I fear there cannot be a future outside of it all.
Hear the cracking, the splintering of bones.
Feel the flesh tear, leaving rotting scarlet fissures in my throat.
Taste the salt of the ocean I drown in.
See the darkness ahead of me, and hesitantly step in.
Smell the blood as if the scent of it has soaked into the air around me.
Let myself believe that this is all I will ever know.
I suppose Ive always been one to allow myself to be taken under,
always been one to cry more for the scars than I did
for the agony that once caused them.
Always forgetting that relief will come eventually,
so lost in the pain Im so sure will last forever.
What do I know?
What am I sure of?
All is lost in the panic that ensues.
All meaning gone,
consumed by anxiety that wont allow me to breathe.
So I must do it now.
Take in a breath, release it.
Snatch yet another into my lungs,
before my head is taken down below the flooding surface,
and I begin to drown again.
Thrash beneath the waves as the madness takes me over.
Feel my eyes slipping shut again,
as the strength drains from my limbs.
Start to give in, for the thousandth time in my life.
And stop.
Recall the amazing feeling of having air to breathe,
oxygen flooding my lungs rather than freezing black water.
Feel, one last time, as though I am dying,
and the final blow that kills me.
And then revive,
and come to life.
