water seeps through my brain
and clogs e v e r y thought
im drowning
nowhere to go or hide or take cover
saltwater in my veings
I cannot
move
i feel like i have been swimming
for hours but
my brain cannot communicate with my libs
where is the solid shore
i am trying to find my patch
of land
the harder i try
the quicker i fail
i hopes of land i swim faster
in hopes of land i am paralyzed
i begin to doze off
exhausted muscles loosen
brain relaxes
eyes closing
land appears
i am no longer
stranded
