Drowning deep

In waters dark

Don’t know where

The bottom is

Nor where safety

Of surface lies

The water deep

Holds me tight

Pushing me up

For gasping breaths

Then pulling down

To suffocate more

Lost in a limbo

Hanging there

Between gasping life

And suffocating death

I am totally lost

Totally lost
