The motion of the never ending cold waters makes me sick, sometimes It bobs up and down and by now it’s hard to tell when I’m breathing and when I’m not The weight of the deep waters presses on my chest when my head’s above water The air stings my throat and eyes and the remnants of the water surrounding me reside in my lungs It’s so much easier to let go To let the ever present waves consume me as I sink down further To swim in shadows below and drown unassumingly To me and everyone around me

Drowning
The motion of the never ending cold waters makes me sick, sometimes It bobs up and down and by now it’s hard to tell when I’m breathing and when I’m not The weight of the deep waters presses on my chest when my head’s above water The air stings my throat and eyes and the remnants of the water surrounding me reside in my lungs It’s so much easier to let go To let the ever present waves consume me as I sink down further To swim in shadows below and drown unassumingly To me and everyone around me
Sometimes I just want to be a pirate or something
