deep down below, the force weighed me down.
I lay down on an ocean floor unsure if I could free myself of things I couldn’t see.
I was suffocated, yet did not move to the surface.
why could it have been me that the ocean hated, that the ocean pressed so heavy against.
Was It that I was weak? or that I’ve never been enough?
deep down below, the loneliness had surfaced over, even when I had gone deep.
The ocean moved while I stayed immobilized, reflecting life while I reflected death.
I still couldn’t see what kept me so sunken to a space far from reach.
When will this end? Is it just in my head?
Deep down below, I wanted to see if there was still something left in me.
A current, the current passed by me, and I couldnt help but reach my hand.
To feel, to touch, to see.
The tips of my fingers brushed against the current and I was swept up to the surface.
I was no longer sunken.
High up above, the force pushed me up
I felt the weight come off of me, I was free.
I didnt want to sink anymore I wanted to fly.
Just like the birds in the sky.
Then I woke up, I was home.
I finally realized it wasnt real just in my head just my thoughts.
And I wept. I wept until my eyes burned.
But I stood and began to walk,head high not knowing what was next
to face truths, to not be sunken again.
