Ocean Poem by Michelle Dominique Augustyn

My self esteem is at the bottom of the ocean
My mind is a shipwreck with survivors hanging on
My eardrums pound like cannon fire from opposing ships
My eyes roll back into the darkness of blue silk
My cheeks fill with hot ice as creatures invade me
My mouth is dry like cool air while underneath the deep
My throat strains for oxygen as it clogs with torture
My chest stretches to its furthest as claws slice through
My heart imploded before I even dove in
