100 Fathoms Deep

100 fathoms deep

10 fathoms down

the pressure

starts to build

lungs start

to collapse

with air they're

barely filled

20 fathoms down

you're in a

critical status

and something is

wrong with your

breathing apparatus

30 fathoms down

you're starting

to get frantic

you look up

its like you can

see all of the

Atlantic

40 fathoms down

like a personal

earthquake you're

body is now starting

to shiver and shake

60 fathoms down

you're falling

twice as fast

with all the shaking

and the shivering

not sure how long

you'll last

80 fathoms down

now what do you do

as the sunlight fades

and becomes a dark blue

100 fathoms deep

you're in the sunken place

you're lifeline snapped

and you feel trapped

you're gone without a trace

and then you hear a beeping

sound that's louder

than it seems.

to your surprise

you open your eyes

and realize it was

just a dream
