Drowning Poem by Becca Bell

I swim in a sea of feelings
So close to drowning
Until you catch my breath and I’m above the surface again.
You and these emotions are so unsteady
And so I continue to swim in my sea and wait for you
To save me one last time
Tossing and turning
Mind, body, and soul
These emotions I feel all at once
They come and go
Like the people in our lives
My feelings travel back and forth, to and fro, across the spectrum.
They don’t rest even when I do
They just continue their journey
As I live on afflicted and conflicted by said emotions
