I'm falling deeper, deeper beneath the surface and sinking lower than the shore. With every attempt to break free, my oxygen becomes even more depleted. My vision begins to blur and everything around me becomes dark. The only light comes from the sun reflecting ripples up above me- the hope I could have reached. The person I could have been. Now it's nothing but the untangible and a constant reminder of how incredulously I have sunk and how badly I have failed. The waves mock me as I'm beginning to drown; I have accepted my fate.
