NUMB

DROWNING

I slowly sink lower into the deep end.

It seems like the voice is asleep so I try not to move.

I could feel the hard rough rocks against my now weak skin.

A piercing sound emanating from a sunken ship, awakes the monster from its slumber.

"No, no, no...." I try to say but water floods my lungs.

"Help me!" I cry out.
But in the deep end there's no one to save you, there's no helping hand, you are all alone!.

I don't fight anymore because I know its of no use.

I simply let myself fall deeper as rocks leave scars on my peeled skin.

The monster laughs, mockingly as it enjoys my pain and misery.

Its laughter is the only thing I hear, as I see the last soft bubbles of air say goodbye to my lungs.

No more energy.

I finally lay softly at the bottom of the ocean. Waiting for it all to end.

Counting the last bubbles of air, which have become smaller now.

At least I shall soon find serenity in a new home, no more voices, no more monsters and no more falling.

Its a lot darker than before or is it my eyes giving up on me.

I smile bravely at myself "I tried" I say to myself

"liar" the voice barked at me "you are nothing but a pathetic, weak, coward."

Those are its lasts words to me, as it smiles proudly with its yellow broken teeth.

And those are the final words I hear as the last bubble floats to the surface.
