I fell, downward i was going, i was up high, below no sky,

With a loud splash, the sound in my ears, sinking down.

The last thing i remember was being wet and cold, gasping,

Struggling to stay afloat, keep my head above the water.

I felt like i was spinning, losing control, getting heavy and weak,

Darkness was coming over my eyes, the last thing i remember.

I’m drifting, no longer am i cold and wet, like there’s another breath in me,

I am going somewhere, they guide me far away, to where i wonder.?

Everything is behind me now, as if a memory, a long ago yesterday,

A new life awaits me as my last moments leave me without pain.
