The River

I've been submerged 
in a rushing river.

Everything is flowing past me,
while I'm still trying to 
catch up.

I fell out of the sky.
Into the painful river of Horribly Unexpected.

Sharp rocks
tear at my fragile skin.

Waves punch my face;
leaving invisible bruises.

These lungs of steel 
have rusted.

I hear yells of encouragement,
but not one lifts me from the current.

Hallucinations take over my sight 
and words slip from my brain.

Losing myself in this destroying flow.

Now it's taking me.

Where it will lead?

I don't know.

I won't be awake by then.
