• I am flailing around in a cesspool of water too deep for me too swim in
    I can't catch my breath
    On the inside im dying a death that is going unoticed
    i try to stay under the toxic seawater blue
    but my body fights for life,
    the burning in my throat
    the stinging in my nose.
    is overwhelming
    unwillingly my head is lifted out of the water
    I cough.I nearly choke.
    My body screams for air.
    but. slowly. I. am.dying.
    my shell will live.
    my body will be.
    My heart will die.
    that is up to me.
    the burning in my throat will continue long after I leave the water-
    part of the pain that comes along with concealing my tears
    it hurts
    it hurts
    im falling
    my body is done fighting
    my tears have become a part of the sea
    I've provided fresh saltwater and
    waves with all that flailing,
    my magic human frenzy,
    now i am drowning.
    my heart has died and soon after my body begins to let go of life.
