i am sinking slowly, bubbles escaping my mouth, racing their way to the surface, competing towards their imminent death.
I watch, spellbound by their journey towards the sun. But i am not racing, i am not floating, i am sinking. Sinking lowly but surly towards oblivion. I am content though, feeling at peace with what is, what was and what could be.
The water starts to crush but i don’t mind, i take it as a blessing of sorts, i like this, condemned to be nothing more than what i am right at this moment. I like not being in control for once. I like the salted taste of the water as i watch the last bubbles force their way from my closed lips without my consent.
I close my eyes, feeling the weight of the water consume me and i slide back into the reality of my mind, encased beneath a blue world.
