Chapter 17 - The depth of me

I am sinking,

into the depth of my own feelings,

drowning somewhere in the ocean,

I created.

Depths also unknown to me.

How strange—

It is that,

my lungs still hold on.

I keep sinking,

deeper into the dark,

a place even I do not know.

Where I will go?

Perhaps it's my heavy heart

that pulls me lower.

Still, I reach out my hand,

hoping a boat might notice.

Even when I am deep down somewhere,

I do not know.

I am comfortable at the same time,

Uncomfortable.

This darkness,

This loneliness,

Terrifies me.

Ah,

A boat floating somewhere

Though I cannot see it,

but one I believe is there,

far above me,

floating above a sky of stars.

I am not hoping to be found.

I only hope,

my hand might touch something—

something that exists

beyond the water's weight.

I am hoping for the impossible.

But still—

I hope,

that it might still be possible.
