Dystopian

Swimming, 

Thoughts oppressing. 

In the dark, 

Lies I won’t forgive. 

Veering into the great unknown. 

 

Diving, 

Head first. 

Past the house, 

Here; yet not feeling. 

Searching for a clearer motive. 

 

Breathing, 

While underwater. 

Is much easier 

Than one would think.

Yet there must be a better way

 

Descending,

Ever deeper.

Trying to survive

To see things through

When closure is a luxury.

 

Treading, 

To survive. 

One must learn 

To find their way

If you don’t believe; try. 

 

Floating,

So tranquil

Facing the sky

The currents of change

Compel me to accept fate.
