22:38
Liquid comfort or liquid coffin
surrounds me as I emerge
in a world I abandoned
a lifetime ago.
Memories of threats
that were never real
splash at determination
and long to sink
my ambition.
Quickened breathing
longs to stop
and admit defeat,
but desperate legs
pump within the confines
and slowly crawl forward
until, eventually,
fear is forgotten.
