There's comfort in sinking
It can feel like a hug
Then it's suffocating,
just a little too snug

It starts in my shoulders
then down to my waist
I only wish I'd sink slower,
not with such haste

Breathless is easy
For next will be death
But fresh air on a new day?
New trials to be faced yet

But that's just existence
You live till you die
No one really warned me
just how much living
makes
you
cry
