DROWNING

Someone once asked her,
What scares you the most?
What makes fear curl coldly inside you?
They thought she’d say planes crashing,
Car accidents,
Drought,
Famine,
Murder,
She looked them dead in the eye and said
I lie down…
The warm rays of the sun on my face
But when I wake up…
I’m drowning…
Struggling against the waves that keep pulling me down.
I shout for help with what little strength I have…
But you stand there
And watch me struggle,
And all you do…
Is tell me…
“Learn how to swim.”
