down deep too long
my skin starts to tingle
water burns my lungs
not a strong swimmer
as I come up and choke
I can't swim back
but I can float
so I float

Thank God that you floated because if you hadn't we would not be reading this opened ended write that I could go several different directions in the interpertation.
