can’t eat
can’t sleep
I have too much to think
trapped in my mind
it gnaws on my brain
walls closing in
the air too thin
the water too cold
the world is so old
the people too young
not meant to be
not meant to breathe
we can run from it all
probably fall
I can teach you how
not to swim, but to drown
find the only peace
at the bottom of the sea
just you and me.
we could build that castle
and remember how to be.
