I’m at sea.
Swimming in the open.
I can’t see anything but water.
My legs are tired. Hundreds of life jackets around me.
But I don’t know which to grab.
I’m drowning.
Just choose one!
But what if the one I choose is leaking? What if it carries me away to more dangerous lands?
Just choose one, you’ll drown.
But what if…?
They found her body the next day, on the shore, right by her house.

When you need to stop to take a breath,
when the world is too much, should I’ve stayed or left?
When you feel stuck and wonder, what the meaning of this is,
should I keep going or should I just exist?
Stop.
Take a deep breath.
Get lost in a book, forget all the rest.
In magical worlds, in fairy tales, with angels and devils.
In Wonderland.
It’s not a great poem, it may not rhyme,
but I truly hope I made you smile 🙂
