Drifting Away

I've been trying to learn
How to swim
For years now

But failing to do so
I've opted to use
The float instead

Using the float
I started swimming
But I lost the course of time

Realizing this
I turned back
But the shore seemed so far away

It seemed easy in the beginning
So I tried swimming back
Only to realize that I was too late

The float suddenly seemed too heavy
As I tried swimming forward
It kept dragging me backwards

I've been at it
For years now
But I only seem to be drifting away

I still try
I don't make any progress
But I don't give up either

But I realized
That the float is losing it's air
So I try harder

The tides are too rough
The float is of no use
So I scream for help

But no one notices
Every one is busy
I start panicking

It only does me more harm
And I start to drown
I try to fight

But realizing that it's too late
I stop
I close my eyes

Drifting into the abyss
I find peace
So I try to rest

Tomorrow, the winds might change
The tides might calm down
The sun will rise again...

But I won't be around...
