don't stop me

it’s like

running on the water

barely touching

the surface

don’t stop me

or I will drown

what are you singing about?

I am sinking

I am drowning

when air dense as water

floods my lungs

and sets my eyes on fire

I am sinking

I am drowning

under the duvet

under all the blankets

with the pillow on my face

I am sinking

I am drowning

on the kitchen floor

between plates and glasses

under this chemical light

I am sinking

I am drowning

I am drowned.
