everything feels like
an ocean
around me

the air is so heavy
and thick
it almost defies logic
and tries its best
to suffocate me

i get lost in the thickness
staring off at the endless blue
as i daydream about a better life
and i almost forget who i am
even if only for a moment

the rotting soil
beneath my feet
causes me to sink
and my well rooted feet
have become heavy
and seemingly impossible
to move
