crashlanding [poetry]

drowning. (ii)

but that's why we all need to learn to swim.
not just swim.
we have to tear through the water.
we have to be so good at swimming
that the water won't know what hit it.

because our families can't always come over to us
grab our hand
pull us on a safe little rock
not when it's crunch time.

you can't just swim to live.
you've gotta be a fucking mermaid.

who ever said it was going to be easy?
hey. you've been strong long enough.
you'll get through this.

i know you will.

;; tbh, i'm feeling great as of now (who cares cara?), but these are just my thoughts & musings... idk.. imagination XD
