Fears

You witness the flood waters rush in

As you run for safety,

You realize that not everyone will make it

As I fight for my life

I can see you running back fro me

The current takes hold and carries me away

Be careful

As you too can be swept up

Don't let the rescuer become the victim

There are others closer to the edge of safety

You need to focus on them

As they will not drag you in

Sadly, I drift farther from safety

I will not let others drown trying to rescue me

As the landscapes change and darken

I know that I must be alone
