Just some toughts

As men start to sink in the ocean,
The mermaids will rescue them.
First the Alphas, then the Betas, and so on.
Slowly my body sinks,
Deeper and deeper I go.
Light turns to darkness and warmth to cold,
Deeper and deeper I go.
The air in my lungs burning and aching,
My mind is saying, "Let go!"
Some air escapes my mouth, and up it rises.
I panic trying to grab the air, for this is what's keeping me alive.
It slips through my fingers, mocking me.
My mind is saying, "Don't you feel better now? Just let go!"
Deeper and deeper I sink.
And as I hit the bottom, the last air escapes my lungs.
Darkness surrounds me.
Cold pierces my skin.
"Just close your eyes and accept it," so I do.
The cold now numbs my skin.
Darkness can't reach my eyes no more.
And fantasy warms my soul.
If I pretend the nibbling fish are mermaids kissing me, it's actually not that bad here!
I lay on the bottom, fully knowing where I am.
But it's my fantasy that keeps me warm.
I'm grateful for all the fish nibbling on me.
