I am in the midst of others
Yet it feels like I am far off
Away from the rest
Left to the void inside of me
There is no light here
Creatures above are swimming
And here I am
Heavy as a rock unable to float
It is hard to swallow
Hard to breath
Hard to hear
The strings entangle me
They no longer swing
They are tight as they ever could
The salt of sea stings
I am an inch away from its floor held by my own strings
