waves crashing all around me

waves crashing all around me
each one bigger and stronger
than the one before.
at first it was fun,
feeling a little nudge
a little pressure
soon,
they were big
my feet no longer touched
after they retreated
treading water
trying to keep my head above the water.
now each wave crashes on me,
knocking me sideways,
stealing my breath
it's cold and i feel as if i am being squeezed
no air comes out.
i want to cry out for help.
but it is too late,
i am in too deep,
no one can hear me now,
the deafening thunder that is each wave
makes my screams sound muffled
out in the deeper water
it gets dark
sun no longer penetrates and bounces back.
it is so hard to breathe.
exhaustion sets in
and then panic
soon....
the wave will come that will take it's final toll.
knocking me to and fro
stealing my last breath
pushing me under
where no attempt
will bring me back to the surface.
it doesn't matter
i just wish it would hurry
