Underwater
i have my eyes closed,
and the painful weight on my shoulders
begins to feel numb.
i don't know if i'm lost in an ocean
or a swimming pool.
the pressure in my head keeps me awake,
i'm breathing just fine.
i don't know when it started
to fill water around me.
all my senses are there
but my body is distance.
i guess there is a leak in my body,
i'm slowly filled with water,
will i drown or fade into it?
