freshwater

you have been released
thrown back

don't loose your mind
don't loose your self

in that ocean full
of bitter fish

the salt burns
dries your mouth
has you craving
fresh water

freshwater
once so vast
is an ocean
now

fighting for a breath
with a mouth full of sand

the salt burns
stings eyes
red with blood
with fear
eyes see black

careful

bitter fish bite
feed on
scabs
wounds revealed

swim around you
in your red
smell your head

your thoughts cloud you

bitterness
bitter mess
keeps you
below

don't hide

rest in your depths

silence will provide you
with peace
breathe
be

rise back
to the suface
