Who do you see?

Hold your breath as you go under
Do not surrender to the depth
As you fall into darkness focus on the light
It will show you the way
Try to fight towards the light
As you get closer and closer to losing that last breath of air you can't tell if you are getting closer to living or dying
The light is getting brighter and brighter as it pierces your eyes and shoots right to your soul
Your air is gone
Mind on the edge ready to jump
Head aching to explode
But your heart beats on for the final stretch
Two arms are trying to grab hold of you
One from above and one from below
What was a fight for your life now comes down to a race to see who will grab a hold of you
Life or Death?
The light is now unbearable
You rub your eyes to try to get some vision back
As your vision comes back... you see who you wanted to.
