#30in30 2016, Day Nine: Whatever Keeps You from Drowning

I can't swim but
I've been thrust into the water
Out here with no paddle
No boat
No life vest
I'm drifting
Not sure how I haven't started
Drowning

I don't like this feeling at all
Being carried by the waves
'Cause I can't swim on my own

If I flail my arms
it'll make it worse
Thought I'd survive
Didn't think far enough
Kinda like fallin in love
You dive in and
then
it
hits you

High tide's rising, coming at me
I thought I was brave
I feel my fate staring me in the face
I pray that I'm not washed away

Feet start kicking, just keep moving
Don't stop moving, legs keep moving
I can't swim on my own
But I'm still here, drifting afloat
Maybe I'm not so alone
