I’ve never liked the seaside

fearing the riptide

that takes me away

I’ve never liked the high dive

jumping

up

up

up

then down into the deep

nothing

Yet here I decide

I fear nothing
 

Not as in I am fearless,

but as in 

I fear it

It’s truly incomprehensible,

it can’t be imagined,

and we’re stuck with the thought of 

I don’t like thinking

all of the time

because sometimes

I can’t stop

I don’t like thinking

alone in my mind

because it doesn’t

 always think right

I was told

to write a slam poem

A sea of words that somehow I can see clearly

But I cannot always speak 

I fear the word I scream,

they don't always come out right

Oil and water

never combined

you and I,

we were the same

I reacted to your words

and your voice negatively

I rested on top of your world

but I was a burden
