h2o

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?
