The World is Gray and Other Truthful Lies

Part 1

Someone is floating Face down

 Someone is floating

 Silence the only sound 

The ripples in the water are playing their memories 

Like an old time movie reel 

But the person floating can't feel 

But it's nothing new 

This numbness has been present for centuries 

Empty and pale 

Has the person 

Floating face down

Always been there? 

Perhaps they were never truly alive. 

Perhaps they were drowning their entire life

Suffocating 

Gasping for air

Perhaps they have been there 

Drowning. 

Perhaps I have always been there

Drowning, 

Suffocating, 

Gasping for air. 

Perhaps I have always been floating face down.
