If you want to feel alive
Again, or check you exist
Then lay in the bath
With your ears underwater
Not silent, but still.
Hear your own heartbeat,
Listen. Absorbed and soak;
A lifeform floating.
Like when you were
Consumed in the womb
And others thought about
Your heartbeat.
But not you, you were
Too busy trying to live.
Now you are trying to
Survive, but also thrive
And running water, like
Your veins, now afloat
Amongst the disorder.
