Suffocating life

The water level is rising
The rain keeps falling
The little girl can barely
stand normally
cheek up
high in the sky
trying not to drown
meanwhile
crying
for her mommy
for anyone
to stop the rain
to safe her
she doesn't like this!
she wants to sit home
safe
in front of the warm fireplace
together with the people
she loves the most

she cries out
HELP ME
but nobody does
Everyone is concerned
about their own problems
They are drowning too
They want their lifes saved
So they don't listen to the cries
of the little girl

The girl keeps screaming
Firmly holding on
To one of the few boards left
HELP ME
SAFE ME
SOMEBODY
ANYBODY?

But nobody listens
Everyone's fighting for their own

The water keeps rising
The rain keeps falling
The little girl
can barely hold on
While the water fills
her mouth
smuthering
her cries
slowly
the little girls chokes
she fights to get away
but she can't

slowly she dies
then her hands slowly let go
her body floats away
leaving the board
for someone else
to hold on to.
