i am flowers. flowers flowers floating throughout this thin, grey water that surrounds me a bunched bouquet colored and ***** rubber bands hold me close embrace me and hold me tight but yet i still feel like parts of me parts of these petals that have once bloomed and my darkening leaves are escaping writhing in this water the wind blowing from a distance the currents have me running into walls endless walls of cascading waves down down forcing me down where can i only look up to the surface and its light forcing me deep under i want to escape
