Abstract
I have struggled for a long time to find a home within myself. My body shifts through water endlessly. Always sending me under crashing waves Always resetting me. I reach for god unsure if I could stand his judgement. Gasping, clawing, praying to breathe. Desperate I call for my father. The version of him that loves me The version of him that's proud. The version of him that isn't like me. Scared, emotional, angry Unstable. Deeper. deeper. deeper. I try to remember I am loved I am lovedI am loved But for how long? I will begin to rot Green sloughing skin sticky and swollen waterlogged. My body is too heavy to carry. When the water becomes too unstable and I am no longer worth saving. Who will be left, to pull me out.
