i'd been swimming around for years.
at least it was a change.
i used to be bored walking around, now im starting to get bored swimming. my skin has become think, covered in scales and i have gills on my neck; i can never go back.
the water feels so natural now, like the concrete used to feel beneath my shoes.
i ache to get back on land - with the people who can walk on two legs.
**********************************************************
i found the warm water and stayed there for about two days - swimming in circles.
i knew all the fish by name, and they all knew me.
somedays i looked up to the sky and others i swam as deep as i could until my eyes began to hurt.
today i swam too deep. one of my eyes began to bleed but i longed to find out what was at the bottom of the ocean.
i kept on swimming - through the pain.
i woke up on a speedboat, then passed out.
i woke up in hospital. i tried to open my eyes, but only one of them worked.
now im sitting up in bed, trying to get someones attention. i think im dying of thirst because i can't see and i can't pick the glass of water up with my fins. |
