It flowed through every crevasse of my body.
It consumed me against my will.
I struggled, but it was too strong to escape.
My body convulsed violently, yet it still engulfed me.

It doesn’t kill purposefully, it kills naturally.
It kills easily and without thought.
There’s no reason for what it does,
It’s simply a part of nature.

I could not breathe, I could not win.
The cold waters of Lake Eerie devours my body.
God forgive me, for I have taken my own life.
I’ve made a mistake.
