the ocean lays out before me and i can feel it catching my toes

and grabbing at my ankles,

its greeeeeeen,

a deep shade that flows over me,

and chokes me,

as i try to swim back to the shore,

i am caught up in this lie,

this lie that you have handed me,

and demanded that it drag me into the deep,

where the bottom makes me feel like sinking,

and its unstable.
