Breathe
Breathe.
Just breathe.
The breath leaves my lungs.
Is this what it feels like to die?
The water is so cold.
Black.
Crushing.
I can't find my way up.
Oh well.
It doesn't hurt.
Like going to sleep.
I see all my mistakes.
Why did I say that?
Why did I do this?
Will my mom miss me?
Why did I hurt her every day?
She was hurting too.
After dad left.
Who will walk my dog?
I don't want to die.
But it's too late now.
My legs kick, and I struggle.
But I don't even know if I'm going the right way.
Is there ice?
I want to get out.
Why did I jump in here in the first place?
I run out of air.
I wanted to die.
And then I didn't.
But now that it's imminent…
I'm content.
And almost happy.
Death reaches out warm arms to welcome me.
And I am content to nestle into them.
Arms reach in.
I'm pulled out.
I lay gasping and sputtering for air.
And then I lift my head to the night sky and scream.
Because I'm alive.
Gloriously alive.
Curse them.
