Looking up through the water.

I see another face.

It's the one who pushed me down.

It's hard to breathe.

Pressure is building against my ribs.

It's as if someone is squeezing me.

I know these thoughts

Will be my last.

I just don't know

How to accept this.

My heart.

It's changing beats.

I wonder

What I did to

Deserve this.

I keep sinking farther down.

Why won't my body swim.

It won't

listen to me.

Same as everyone else.

Maybe it just wants me to die.

Like everyone else.

I can no longer hold my breath.
