Excellence Award in the 'Step Write Up 2011' competition

Deep into it's sinking depths,
You try to swim and catch your breath.
Swirling water sucks you in,
Daring you to sink or swim.

You take the dare,
and swim and swim,
But the oceans currents have sucked you in,

Your drowning now with no hope left,
sinking slowly to your death.
