You're drowning in shallow water and people are screaming

You're drowning in shallow water and people are screaming at you to stand up, to just stand up. But you can't and they don't understand how much it hurts to try. You're paralysed from the waist down and every attempt at shifting is pure agonising pain. They keep screaming at you and you scream back, forcing out salt water along with the words "I fu.cking can't!". You've tried, you've tried so hard, and for so long, but nothing works. Your legs are numb from trying, they are limp like a newborns, and your head is barely treading water. You wonder why none of these screaming people have waded into the water to help you. After all; it is only waist deep.
