Drowning

Sometimes I feel like I am in the ocean,
Just floating
Peaceful

Slowly but surely the water moves a bit more 
A slight shift at first
Nothing to worry about

Then a splash 
Creeping over my face 
Gasp for air

Another comes and another 
The Struggle comes 
So does the storm 

Panic
searching for reprieve 
Something 

Today the storm eventually calms 
The waves retreat 
I can breathe

Today
