In a Grove 2021

I’m Drowning I’m drowning I’m trying to escape Reaching for something to pull me up Something to save me The cold water fills my lungs I watch the small bubbles drift up to the surface I want to go with them I want to be them Free Untethered Happy I envy them Give up, says a little voice So I do I stop fighting I’m tired I don’t want to fight

I look down to the welcoming darkness I let it engulf me
