i swim in the sea of unconscious
i hold my breath and dive
splash into a new world
where nothing is alive
the water feels like nothing
as if im flying in the air
i can hear nothing and noone
its like im not anywhere
my heart is as hot as inside an oven
and my eyes have been closed for good
i feel as if im falling down a hole
or running in a dark wood
my toes and fingers have no feeling
and my thoughts are upside down
my head hurts and it really aches
its like i've morphed into an earth-quake
still swimmming i see a bright light
i swim to it with a little bit of sight
the light is getting larger
its growing more bright
i try and swim away
i don't want to die
not now and not today
but im too weak. Goodbye!
