The world is my ocean.

I try to swim above the surface,
while my feet pedal as a lifeline.

The water is unhealthy;

Dead fish are hidden below the sharks,
Sodium rubbing my skin the wrong way.

But I continue to push
the clouds in the sky.

With eyes that are anchored
below sea level.

Like a drowning eclipse;

I await for my lungs
to clutch the surface,

And allow the waters to
gloss my skin,

So my soul can get stuck
in the sun.
