Am I Wrong?

How I love the beach
The sun
And the water
As I run and splash into the sea with my friends
I am happy
Nothing bad can happen with people around
Can it?
We swim into the deeper water
So we can float and play
Without bothering anyone else
But I am shorter
I must work to stay afloat
I start to tire
But do not show it
Everyone else is fine
I do not want to be the weak one.
Slowly
Ever so slowly
I stop moving
Stop trying to float
And I relax
As the waves pull me under
I hear my friends exclaim
But I am too tired to fight
Too tired to care
I sink lower and lower
I feel a hand grab mine
And pull me to the surface
The air burns my lungs
And the water flows freely from my mouth
But I am still exhausted
I can't stay awake
It is not the wave pulling me under any longer
It is exhaustion
Will I ever wake up?
Will I ever see my friends faces again?
Nothing bad was supposed to happen
I should be having fun
Am I wrong?
