Sinking


[Sinking]
Verb
 
Descended
Dropping
Becoming submerged 
 
 
Like the ground 
Sinking beneath 
My feet 
Swallowing my heart
 
Like breathing out all of my air 
Then dropping myself 
Into the water
And letting myself
Scream 
And panic
But it is silent
Nothing comes out 
nobody can hear it
I’m the only one that feels it
 
The violent weight pulling down on me. 
 
Like diving too far in
And not being able to 
Save yourself.
