Falling / Drowning
This is not flying -
This beauty I should have known.
I have never flown.
I never flew.
I fell.
This ocean you describe, I once knew,
Supposed happiness and love
enveloping emotions...
No.
I was drowning,
I never learned to swim,
I buried myself
in the ocean floor
& convinced myself it was happiness.
The saltwater
filled my lungs,
so when the ocean finally left me I froze alone
on the rocks
I have not flown.
I did not swim.
I have fallen,
I have drowned.
