Drown today. Swim tomorrow.

I've floated to the bottom again.

Days and nights,

Weeks and months,

Spent kicking my way to the surface.

Somehow I lost my rhythm.

My legs and arms stopped cooperating..

So I sank.

I don't want to drown. 

I don't want to feel rock bottom,

Just below my body.

I made it most of the way up,

But the tide changed..it always changes..

I will rest at the bottom.

I will take water into my lungs

And I will embrace the pressure

Wrapped around my body.

I will drown today

And that's alright.
