Depth

Falling deeper and deeper.
Drowning away from this world felt like peace.
So I opened my mouth and swallowed the salty sea.
And let it wash away all the negativity I harbor into this unwilling body.
My legs stopped splashing and I ceased trying to stay afloat.
Sinking.
Dying.
Releasing.
Waiting to be revived again.
