as I grip at it like my life depends on it
the water unmoving, yet dangerous
it crumbles in movement as I enter it
deeper and deeper, unable to swim towards the surface
choking as I try to bring my self up
the pressure is unbearable,
causing unseen tears to fall from my eyes,
my heart beats loudly while my head throbs and my chest tightens
breathing is forgotten as I replay all that happened
attempted to be avoided yet easily occurred
words float effortlessly above the water,
bringing me up, easing me from my pain into a calmer place,
my heart slows in pace as my fingers touch the pages lightly,
music enters my ears in the background yet I'm focused on the words,
on the adventures, the romances, the mysteries
I’m in my own world, nothing else matters
the drama, the guys, the school work all gone,
all forgotten within a turn of a page.
yet it’s still there, buried deep down to be remembered some other time
yet attempted to be left there forever.
I dive into the characters problems and worlds,
time is lost as the pages keep turning and turning
smiling, laughing, crying, and wondering
as I become myself again.
