What is the most beautiful way to die?
I always thought drowning
I jumped and said "I'm free"
My body hit the water and I immediately felt regret
I thought I knew pain but nothing prepared me for this
I panicked as I felt my gut sink gasping for air
Once water filled my lungs it was unbearable
All the oxygen remaining in my body was escaping
It felt as though I was chained to cement weights as I tossed my arms around
Bleeding from the inside, screaming so silently
I tried to breathe in but all I felt was a fire building up, burning in my chest
That only let in more and more water
Once I ran out of oxygen, a sudden peacefulness set in
Enveloped in the cool darkness
The water in my ears filled me up along with my lungs
I couldn't help but think
"I'm free"
I relaxed as the waves carried me
As my body sunk to the ground of the sea
I glanced up one more time
"I'm free"
And suddenly the end didn't seem too sad anymore
It ended how it started, alone
"I'm free"
