Ocean Took Me Away

My head is stuck in the ocean, I'm holding my breath for so long, waves crashing above, the fish are singing a song.
This ocean so blue, so peaceful too,
It's like it has no clue, on what the world has got over me and you.
Body is just flowing with the waves, body is shivering from the cold, body can't handle this for much longer.
All I can see is what lays below,
Crabs and cockleshells,
A fish just said hello.
Am I going insane or sinking to Hell?
I'm certainly not floating to Heaven,
As I'm drowning towards the sand.
I was only eleven,
When this happened,
Nobody was there to lend me their hand.
