You Can't Call Time Out

flailing, fighting towards the surface

gasping for a taste of some salvation

for each gulp of oxygen

with each inhalation i suck something i cant define

pressing me on as im sucked into depths

swinging my arm to pull myself up

fighting with my life for my life

cant afford to take a break

no time outs

no pauses

no breathers

persistant work, persistant struggle

persistant results of nothing to show for drained efforts

treading these dark waters

in this deadly game of life
