ocean.

sometimes it feels like i am in a deep body of water

filled with darkness

trying to pull myself out

but subconsciously letting myself fall

because the feeling of sinking, is less painful than working to pull myself out.

with more concrete blocks being added to my shackles called “life.”

every time i feel close to getting a breath of air

another block is being added and filling my lungs with water bubbles

each bubble bursting

taking away my will to live.
