Things that make you sad, one day, you will laugh out and say it.

year after year day after day sprinting into that building 

with my soul-less body time had lapsed with currents that can't be stopped

stepping into the water it almost drowned me out stepping out of the water

I don't know what I'm here for sitting there head up breathing in oxygen

that never runs out the flood is coming no, it already happened

Fishes swimming bodies floating I can’t be a fish 

because I don’t know how to swim I can’t be dead then who is writing this poem
