I Cannot Float

54 15 9
                                        

Storms rolling overhead and I

Am drowning in a river

That is only ankle deep


Others wade through

But I am trapped underneath

Like a mirror, 

I will pound on the surface

Begging for someone 

To pull me through


But they have already crossed 

And I will be the only one to not make it

Like a sinking plastic bag,

I will lose the air inside me

And sink to the candy-colored stones below

And everyone,

Will forget me
