Sometimes, you forget that you are not drowning alone,
the murky water and
the kelp and
its attempt to latch on and
drag you further beneath the surface -

    you, all alone in you misery, (but that's alright because hard as it is you know how to save yourself)


and sometimes, you get a glimpse of someone else drowning next to you.















*Today, you do your very best to catch them.
