I stopped listening
not because I did not care
but because I could not take it
I could not control the pressure
so I submerged myself in it
and when I was underwater
all the voices were muffled
my screaming was silenced
when I opened my eyes to a world of blue
there you were, passing by with fiery shades
swimming to nowhere in particular
just to find a hidden treasure
and then you found me
you said you had reached your goal
but I could not speak, for I was silenced by the ocean
you led me to the shoreline
even though I was your treasure
I was finally seeing other colors
you saw me lost and then found me
I once stopped breathing for you
to see if I could survive submerged inside
you saved me then, pulling me up from the bottom
guiding me to where the sky met the sea
and when I stood above the water
I took a deep breath, hearing all the voices
and then I stood tall, confident like a ship
calling out to everyone on the shore
blowing a foghorn, screaming in joy
in pain from the suffering, in remembrance of you
I wish I could thank you
for everything you've shown me
but I know I need to be careful
now that I've tasted life
I need to savor every bite of it
so now I write this to thank you
for being my oxygen underwater
