i guess i'll just drown in the sea, feeling the salty water seep into me, taking my last breath, my lungs full for the first and last time, i close my eyes, and.. i let myself go. because when there is nothing to hold onto, then I can't hold on, that i know. i know how to drown, because I used to suffocate, but now I don't even need to breathe. what a releif, I feel so free, all that is left of me are air bubbles that will float and die too. i can't wait, so i just go. sinking down. my body sinks, i'm watching it do so, from somewhere on the other side, what did I do? oh no. and now the fish will eat my skin, and eat my flesh, and slowly they'll get to my heart, and all they will taste is the sentence; "i love living again"
