My Death

The water is rising around me
I'm stuck in the middle of it all
Chaos and confusion break free
Farther down I fall

The water fills my lungs
I'm thrown against the waves
Tossed around and hung
Off the edge where I can't be saved

I scream for anyone near
But no sound escapes my lips
Now my fate is clear
As my hands start to slip

Death is punishment for my sins
I feel the wrath of a thousand lives
That I have killed, resting within
Now they have control of my life

Waves slam against my face
Burning and stinging my eyes
My existence will soon be erased
Cut short by all my lies

I try to climb up to the surface
But I'm pushed back down
To end my life is their purpose
To suffocate me and make me drown

"Leave me alone," I shout through coughs
"Forgive me for what I've done!"
But they don't listen and drag me off
Justice for my crimes have won

The dark, unforgiving water consumes me
I try to take in a breath
I'm taken away by the evil sea
This is the end, my death
