Thread: "Diving"

Gulping giant gulps of water,
gasping for air.
I scream for someones help,
who, I don't care.

Fearing for my life,
with pain in my eyes.
I'm afraid no ones near,
to hear my desperate cries.

Frantically I strike the water around me,
trying hard not to sink.
Plus the more I scream and yell,
the more water I seem to drink.

My nose burns from the water.
Eyes burn from chlorine.
This is the last opportunity...
My final heard scream.

With that, the waters hands grab me,
pulling me under.
All of this could have been avoided,
if not for my blunder.

Then quickly I black out,
Yet see just fine.
Staring awkwardly at the water,
I guess it wasn't my time.

Suddenly I realize something strange,
and think, dear lord.
Coming to the realization...
My feet haven't even left the diving board...

This one is hopefully being published... I won't find out for another couple of weeks.
