Getting smashed against the rocks The waves they wash me away But bring me back To and from I sway and sway My limbs they don’t belong To anyone I know They are attached to me but misbehave My feet and head they tumble They twist and rub and bruise My head is pushed against The ocean floor Of sand Bubbles drift from my nose And then The water’s in my lungs I cough and spew then swallow Everything is silent Everything blurry through this watery Blue My heart beat beats so loud My feet and legs they kick And then my eyes aren’t open And it’s in my bed I am That ocean was a ruse My lids flutter open My room is dark and quiet The glow From the candle flickers Making pictures on my wall My heart still pounds real hard My throat it’s raw from crying Those slippery uncontrolled Tears Breathing slow but shallow Shaking breaths in between Life is never simple But mine seems mean right now
Me
