The water is running.
The depth, increasing as I strip and lay.
My ears become full as it takes its first embrace
My conscious head sinks and I begin to hear nothing -
but blurs of the world below that awaits.
Silence starts to surround me, making its way through me
to find its resting place-
while human thoughts subside.
Weight pulling me deeper
as I become a part of this.
At rest - I am.
They cannot find me here.
A safe place of the unknown.
My haven of currents,
My liquid sanctuary,
My humble asylum.
I am at peace now-
but they disagree.
I begin to fear
their eager hands,
abruptly grasping before i am ready.
Breaking the silence-
Only just to speak of thier selfish prominences.
smothering me with thier unjust skin
and defiant ears, hearing only what they wish,
with tyrant toungues that speak so harsh and loud.
But they do not understand.
I am submerged for a reason-
to escape from them in their greed.
but i shall not let it wake me.
Unconsiousness is too precious.
It must not break me.
vulnerable yet so serene
at the bottom I lay.
Submerged from the human world that simply was too much to carry.
