breather

I’m miles beneath confusion,
inhaling water to keep myself down.
Down under shimmering light,
like a plastic-wrapped sky
I’m inhaling water to keep myself down.
Surrounded by pressure
that’s blurring my eyes
I know I can’t leave,
not sure when I arrived
But I’m miles beneath confusion,
with weights on each side
So I’ll fill up my lungs,
with conviction and purpose
Rest on rock bottom,
try not to float free.
