found something i wrote a little over a year ago... am feeling it again...
i feel lost
swirling conflicting emotions
despair
its been so long
or so it seems
since i felt the drowning tide
now the water's rising
eddying around my waist
swirling to my shoulders
the water is so cold
i haven't felt its clench in a while
in little circles to and fro
i cant find the land
im starting to freak out
but im floating still
i have a life jacket on
but the tide's so high
and the life jacket is so loose
i'm afraid i might slip out
slip out into the dark below
its been so long since i gave up
its been so long since i drowned
but i feel so lost
and this rising tide is so cold
and this life jacket feels so loose...
