things change and friends leave life doesn't stop for anybody- perks of a wallflower (A.K.A a pretty lit movie)


The murky blue water surrounds me 

At this point, swimming doesn't seem like an option

Why couldn't the warm shore be enough for me? 

The sun's bright rays reach me through the water 

Air bubbles reach the surface of the water 

I sink deeper and deeper 

The earth's cold water finally overtakes me 

I realize that this is it 

My final goodbye from the bottom of the ocean 


The author's comments:

I have been writing for a while now but this poem has always tugged at the back of my head The poem itself sounds like someone describing what sinking is like but its so much more its about the pressure of school and home life all weighing me down and how hard it is to get back up
