Self-Enlightenment - Gabriel Kawczynski ( warning : I am not depressed, I just really like the poet and this poem. )

Self-Enlightenment

" The water was deeper than

I thought, Between gravity

And weightlessness I was

Caught, Drifting in darkness

My fingers began to rot

My body starting to rust

I was sinking like a ship,

I was thinking ' This is it '

The pressure of emptiness

Surrounded me, I was lost,

Lost at sea, I was drowning,

Drowning to breathe. "

Gabriel Kawczynski
