Book of thoughts - If you feel lost and you look for a place to hide

Lifeboat

No matter how hard we try to row, our boat is sinking.
I am standing on the board with closed eyes, thinking
"What could have I done differently?"
I ask
I never spoke up, never shared, so I took off my mask.

It was too late, I stayed on the boat
All I had with me was this small note

"Can you swim? I'll teach you."
