I jumped.
The dark blue water held me so tight.
I knew I couldn’t swim,
Yet I jumped just to sink.
I didn’t struggle.
Water just cooled the burning inside me.
I closed my eyes
and felt a quiet relief.
I stopped
My last breath slipped away
I didn’t follow
Just saw a single bubble hurried upward
I sank to the bottom.
The sea gathered me into its silent lap.
I didn’t feel any pain
just felt like a cold breeze on an open wound.
I let myself go.
