don't do that don't

tell me i'm not

trying i swam

through 12 oceans

and drowned in every

single one of them

but each time the water

seeped into my lungs

and the fish started

swimming in my blood-

stream i spat it all up

and continued swimming

i am not a life raft

i will not pop in the

middle of the ocean

i am a fucking ship

and i promise you i will

make it to the shore

alive.
