Description

Because I double dog dare you
To jump into the water
While you cant swim
ill try to save you
But as im in the water beside you
I’ll hold you hand
drowning silently, too.

I can’t help but think of myself as a drowning failure. I can’t help but feel wrong for trying to swim myself, while watching everyone else drown. I feel that I need to hold the hand of every person underwater and make swimming motions, while I myself can’t even make it to the surface. I wonder at what point we ever make it to the surface. Or do we spend our entire lives trying so desperately to help the sinking float, seeing who can reach the theoretical surface that we know all so well, but have never reached.

I even wonder if I’m helping any person who I try to help breathe. Am I not just dragging them further to the bottom? Does the fact that I look like I’m making it give them false hope for themselves? Or do some of them see through it all, and wonder why they bother trying if no one else can make it? Sometimes I wonder why I can see through it all.

I want to feel like I’ve helped someone breathe the air we all so desperately want.

But what if no one feels the same about saving me?
When will I finally drown.




i wish i was better at writing.
