       blue eyes and sea foam are strangers to me.

yet with time, perhaps i shall call them friends.

     bejewelled with guilt, i don this necklace.

in hopes of a renewed heartbeat,

       these lungs fill with water and my chest is heavy,

eyes hooded with rocks.


i am underwater.

       voices echo and throats clog up with dead dreams.


i am buried alive.

      silenced screams and eyes blurring with hot tears.


i am stoned.

      injuries sting, yet fresh wounds seem to be constant reminder.


i am asleep.

       nightmares come alive, haunting my every step.
