Musings Vol. 37

Most ambitious and precocious
I swim beneath the crashing waves
I think I am the fastest
I think I am the strongest
I think I am the best
I swim further and I began to realize…
I am not swimming…
I never learned to swim…
I fall farther in to the depths of this sea
They held my dreams
They coveted my aspirations
All falling down along with me
Darker ever still
I scream…
I am enveloped by the water
Filling my lungs
Shutting out my screams…
I reach out for a hand
For some form of help
Hoping that I do not fall farther down
I reach with all my might…
And my hand falls cold…
Deeper and darker these waters become
I do not shut my eyes
The darkness takes me
I am forever blind to the world around me
I keep falling…
With no hope left inside me…
