Too deep. Too long.
Too beautiful.
I'm learning to swim.
Don't want to
learn to walk again.
My lungs
will collapse if I go deeper.
Don't care. Too young.
I see others
go up. Need air
but I know
that I'll get the bends.
In a dark cloud I see
my body adapt.
Being forced to the surface
By the sea serpent.
My fears
lost.
Disappointment seeps in.
as i look back
on my pool
and begin to drown
again.
