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's a band piece
weird, I know
it's from last year
and we only played it in concert once
but it means a lot to me
it reminds me of a lot.

Wait.
What?
How did that go up?
Logically
How
do others see me?
Do they see a girl in gray cargo pants and light blue thermal quarter zip?
Do they see a friend who loves them despite her crankiness?
Do they see a quiet awkward girl who prefers books to people?
