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
