The Soul's Parlance [Poetry]

#38| Drowning

They say I'm on land

but it all feels like water. 

Coaxing me with 'you're fine's

like a lamb to the slaughter. 

Wouldn't take it anymore, 

it's all choking at my lungs. 

Held it in for too long, 

now it's flooding my thoughts. 

Fled in a panic,

learned how to fly. 

Floating and soaring,

till I reached the sky. 

Finally freed!

Now elated and high.

Should've known it was only 

a matter of time.

Drowning,

I'm drowning, in this illusionary world.

Yet they whisper 'you're flying!'

as free as a bird.

But I'm drowning,

drowning, even with air all around.

I'm drowning forever,

in this sea among clouds.

Yup it's been some time lol. Sorry about that!

Btw I really should sit outside a bit more, really helps me come up with stuff.
