I’m sinking,
and sinking fast.

Barely keeping
my head above water.

A disappearance
would ease my pain.

But it would ripple more pain
onto those who are already hurting.

So I thrash and gasp
my energy diminishing as I tread.

Waves of emotion continue
to crash over my head.

“Hold on; hold on a little longer,”
I hear a soft whisper within.
“Help is on the way.”
