capsized
breathing water is easy

my biggest fear: drowning
suddenly i am my biggest fear

i taste nothing
my eyes do not burn
my muscles are not sore

i am sinking slow
fast

limbs limp but alive
eyes open but blind

take me into the depths
where i belong

next to grey rock and brown sand

too cold
too dark
too perfect for a girl like me

if a rope fell i wouldn't grasp for it
this is everything i feared

and now it's all i need
