"That's Life" Poem by Ashlyn Nikora

I weep in the waters
as I helplessly witness them from afar
aching to be more.
Air bubbles break above the screaming mouth,
shaped by words that never reach me,
as the body slowly sinks
the legs kick.

Sinking
Kicking
Sinking
Kicking
Sinking
Sinking
Sinking

All I can do now cannot be done
I feel sorrow watching the odd fish die,
in the environment that should be theirs
I can do nothing but swim away and wonder.

As cries for more answers.
