Uncovered Poem by Shirley K.W. Ka

It feels like I'm sinking
but I’m not falling through
It comes and it takes me
it's all about you
My shield is now tearing
it's falling apart
You can see right through me
straight to my heart.

It feels like I’m drowning
but I’m not choking yet
Will I grow gills
or end up dead?
I'm sinking to the bottom
and I can't save myself,
Is this all real,
or do I need help?

This world is just spinning
and I don’t have a clue
Time is just flying
when I spend it with you
My shell is now cracking
and I can't hide myself
It's out in the open
I'm in love with you now.
