1,000 Feet

I've swum and survived in 1,000 feet of water.

I've swum clutching the side of deflating life rafts, in 500 feet of water. I survived.

I've swum and survived riptides in 400 feet of water.

I'm exhausted.

I'm exhausted.

I'll fall apart with all my heart,

You can watch from your window.

It's been months and months of back and forth,

Rain came pouring down when I am drowning,

I'm exhausted.

My passion to get up off the ground and stop eating dirt,

I am separated from the possibility of change.

I am exhausted.

I am exhausted.

I feel like drowning,

I am drowning in two feet of water.
