Under neath

Here under a wall of water

I am drowning

Can you hear me

Through the deafening silence

Of all I cannot say

Of all I had to bury inside this body

At times I feel like I am

That piece of tiny flotsum

Struggling to resurface

From underneath a tidal flow of negation

That wants to eliminate me

As I tumble

Thrown this way and that

By the swell of a tide

That is trying to carry me

So far from home

Deep within my sleep of forgetting

Deep sea diver

Can you see me

Can you hear my song

Muffled by the ocean waves

I am longing for rescue

But if you cannot see me or hear me

If I cannot become real to you

I honestly fear that

I will drown
