Free in Death


They say you cannot breathe under water 

But this is the only world allowing me to breathe.

When water surrounds me and nothing else exists.

The shouting whispers of the world,

Meaningless chaos impeaching me to live who I am,

Duties, rules and other ugly words.

Everything fades

Under the water.

I take a last breath and silence welcomes me.

 

Let's go a little bit deeper.
