Riptide
I saw them struggling against the riptide,
And called out to check their vitality.
They choked on water, begged for aid,
Wanting me to bring them ashore.
But the currents and gail winds frightened me.
I saw them struggling against the riptide,
And swam out, though unprepared.
Sucked down and out under harsh waves
No light, no air, just darkness and cold.
Desperately trying to break the surface.
I saw them struggling agaisnt the riptide,
I fought and kicked against the brine.
My head...
