How to drown

By Gali

I learned to swim

When I was young

And butterfly

Now here I am

Years later

And all I know

How to drown

How to go deeper

And deeper

And not come

Up for air

I no longer know

How to float on my back

How to race across

The span of the pool

All I know

Is how to sink

How to drown

    So we can get better

    But some people
