Do you know how it feels to be drowning in the ocean of despair, hoping someone would save you but deep inside your chest you know no one cares. You flap your legs & hands desperately, hoping someone would outstretch their arm. You breathe heavily, hoping someone would notice the bubbles. You scream & scream & scream, hoping someone would listen to your voice. But why? Cause you were told love saves you every time & thus, you never found learning swimming useful. Cause you were never told that this world can turn a deaf ear to your begging voice & grieves only when something happens. Cause you were never told you are your own saviour & thus, you found dependency beautiful. You always waited for someone to love you, pamper you, ask you, "How are you feeling?" & do you know how it feels to unlearn things you were taught especially when you're drowning. I hope you learn swimming & not unlearning.
