Submerged in a dripping, sipping
Hot Humid Heavy was the cape
Ripping Tearing Stripping to escape
Stifling Suffocating Steaming Reeling
Searching for Relief from this devastating feeling
Clean Clear Cool was the pool
Cold Crisp Clashing with the dream
My love, My dream, My life now silenced
Drowned, Diluting, Sunken pronounced
My heart burn ? a fire for change
My dream was to see my world rearranged
My love was given to those around
And my life was taken amid no sound
As I sink fully aware in the pool of my reality
As the breathe is taken with this finality
I see the surface that offers me hope
Yet I choose to sink in life not cape
