against the current

I'm trying to work as the flood hits,
Images envelope me, the current is enticing.
Why don’t I just let go, get swept away?
Numb my tired, aching body, meld with the cold waters.

Only I would get pulled under the current,
The quickly moving waters would overtake me.
Would I drown, who would be there for me?
It’s cold in the waters, when you’re holding fast
Against the current.
