Drowning

Broken ice ushers water around
Muffling the world, can’t hear a sound
A scream looks like bubbles from pre-school
The lake was to thin, I was a fool.

It freezes over my only way out
No matter how I pound and shout
It just won’t break, I’m trapped underground
In this icy grave, I’m lost not found

Drowning, oh so bitter sweet
Darkness dragging me by the feet
And as I sink my eyes crust with snow
All the way down, what a way to go.

The silt begins to cover my face
in the game of life , I’ve lost the race
a light shines ahead and I leave this plane
when springtime comes, you’ll find me then.
