Feels Like A Shark Attack

I was swimming, swimming away from my fears, away from my troubles, away from all that bothered me. The world was my fear, and everything in it was like my enemy. I closed my eyes and stopped breathing. I thought about everything… from the ocean to solid ground, from life to death, but nothing could compare to how I should live my life….. that was my fear. And I was afraid of death because your life is so short, what do you do next? What if your life is not cut out for you, just like everyone else’s. What if you die suddenly, from a heart attack or something and you didn’t live your life to the fullest? What if you drown and no one saves you? But I was drowning right now, drowning in my thoughts. My thoughts were troubling. My fears encompassed me. I could not escape. What felt like daggers were the words they said to me. It felt like I was under a shark attack. My mind raced, my heart pounded. I opened my eyes. The attack was over.
