Strong, hard, deep

Pulling me

Going up and up and up

I can't breathe

Pressure of water pushing in on me

Slipping into my mouth

Filling my nostrils

I can't breathe

Still being pulled

Up and up and up

My lungs are collapsing

I can't open my eyes

It's dark

So dark

I can hear my heart beat

Feel it pounding in my chest

Slowing 

I can't breathe

But I'm being pulled 

Up and up and up

I break surface

Coughing, sputtering

Light pushing through my eyelids

I struggle to open them

My pulse speeding up

My mouth opening

My lungs opening

I open my eyes and I'm free

The pulling stops

And I fall back in
