There are often times where
I drown
in the deepest recesses of my
thoughts.
Like the time I jumped into the public pool
because all of the big kids knew
how to swim.
I gasped for air as water tried making its way into my
lungs
Hopelessly floating in the cool chlorine
blue.
I faintly remember a pair of arms reaching around my waist,
And dragging me out.
I felt myself
coughing
violently.
Remorse.
Pain.
Isolation.
Anger.
Sadness.
Could it have been better to stay in the water?
