Underwater
it's nearly silent
incredibly quiet
all sharp sounds softened by the waves.
Underwater
all of the loud, nagging noises of life fades into a faint murmur
bearable for once.
Underwater
I kick my way to the bottom
the pressure filling my ears
all I can hear is the water.
Underwater
I stay
I wait
until I start to float back up
until I run out of air
until I shoot up
up
up
out of the water
dripping
breathing
surrounded by sounds
surrounded by air.
Which to choose
quiet silence
or air?
it was bound to happen eventually
the death of a best friend
but now
now is a bad time
on hannukkah
what kind of a miracle is that?
now im miserable
It's December already
I've been alive for over thirteen years
over thirteen years of learning and growing
making mistakes and accomplishing feats
of finding myself and uncovering layers in not only myself
Your new-ish house
your dog sleeping on the rug
my family and your family chatting comfortably
your kitchen with your hot chocolate
the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island
that's one of my happy places
