The waves were crashing all around me
There was no way I could ever break free.
I tried to swim down deeper and deeper
So that I could finally catch my breath
But the pressure kept building
There was no air left.
I wake up in a cold sweat.
I look around.
I see myself in a hospital bed.
My mom is there
Holding my hand.
She hasn't left my side
And hasn't stopped praying
That God would keep me alive.
"One breath at a time"
She whispers.
I watch her until I can't watch her anymore.
I go to look for my dad, but he's nowhere to be found
So I make my way through the door and down the hall
And I find him in the waiting room
Staring at the wall.
I can see it in his eyes
How he wishes he could have been there to save me that day
But it was too late.
"One breath at a time"
He whispered.
And he sat trying to convince himself I would be fine.
That's how I learned
Those waves crashing down on me
Made their way to my whole family.
And I died to myself that day
So my waves wouldn't take them away.
