Underwater

Underwater 

Poet: Chelsie Rivera (-2019) 

Few seconds more--

Just a little more, 

And I'll be underwater

Like them--society 

Drown in their own world 

covered by lies

unweighting the truth 

Spreading hate 

and stabbing each other on their backs, 

not so lovely 

Carrying each one's battle, 

even suppressing feelings--

and going deeper onto incurable sadness,

to keep theirselves occupied 

Too many thoughts 

or choices 

judge me to tightly 

None of the options, 

please me--

But somehow, I manage to still fight

Fight, for what's right  

And you'll be next
