Underwater
Im under water
and it feels like a slaughter
the killing of my precious air
day dreaming that someones there
Hoping and praying for anyone
To come around and be the one
to rescue me, but I am alone
My soul took off from my body, it has flown
from this deoxygenated world to mine
I am now feeling shivers down my spine
I feel the trembling of my lungs
The absence of the life my body longs
for and craves, the life it needs
I am frozen in time as my nose bleeds
My stomach fills with acid, water
begins to sink into my airless lungs
i think people are yelling with cut off tongues
theyre muted, they cant be heard
I begin to feel weightless like a bird
I think Im starting to drown
I continue to sink and go down
deeper under this water
that feels like a slaughter
