Salty Water

It’s like being tossed

around in the ocean.

xxx

One minute,

breathing.

Next minute,

taking a huge gulp.

xxx

That salty water

filling your lungs,

so, the air can’t escape.

xxx

How do you get out?

xxx

How do you escape?

xxx

This fucking rolling

constantly over and 

over?

xxx

Feeling sick.

The ever-growing nausea

building up

as you swallow more

of that disgusting water.

xxx

Going dizzy,

xxx

Can’t think.

xxx

Head so full of panic.

xxx

Rising and falling,

like waves.

xxx

What would it feel

Like

to totally let go?

xxx

To succumb to those waves?

That murky water

filling you up?

xxx

To not feel it in your

lungs,

your head.

To not feel anything?

It’s tempting.

xxx

So tempting,

to just forget.

Breathe that

last lung full.

xxx

Go under.

Just give in to it all.

xxx

One final time
