DrowningA Poem by Krystal ThomasWhen you wake up and feel the water up to your ankles; Play a song that will release the plug and drain that water out. This will be easy baby girl. When it’s 2 in the afternoon and the water has crept its way up to your knees; Go back to the days you were 5 and spent your entire summer at the beach. This will make it a little easier baby girl. When it’s 5 in the evening and the water has made it up to your chest; Put on a life jacket because it’s raining harder than the streets can drain. This won’t be easy baby girl. When it’s midnight and the water is about to cover your mouth; Take a deep breath and hold it. Don’t let this kill you baby girl. It’ll be easy again in the morning. © 2016 Krystal Thomas |
