#drowninginsilence
He traced my limits with dripping fate, A careless god with a water-drawn gate. I ran in circles—dry shrinking fast, Each lap a loop, a haunted past. The lines closed in, the world grew tight, No sky above, no edge in sight. Till even breath became a crime, And drowning felt like passing time. But something wild refused to die, Not strength—just rage at a soaking lie. I kicked the flood, broke rules of grace, And carved my way through scattered space. Now here I stand, soaked to skin, On dry land, breathing in— Like I was never trapped at all, Like the flood was just a small downfall
