Underwater

underwater
sinking
eyes hurting
blurry the world ahead
It's difficult to breathe
while the last air bubbles
grow bigger
bigger
to pop on the surface
and with each one
a piece of my soul
a palpitation of my heart
a pump of my lungs
is lost
in the timeless litmus spectrum
of the sun rays percolating 
through an ocean of tears and rum
my hands
my arms
my feet
desperately fight
to reach above
to breath
to open my mouth
and scream.
