The world is too loud
Her mind is full of dangerous ideas
She jumps in and plunges beneath
The chilly water takes her breath
Here, she hears no sound
Though her heart pounds
Her thoughts are quieted too
She relents and descends in stillness
It’s dark all around
The current tugs at her heels
Reaching up to grab more of her
Beckoning her downward with an icy grip
She will have to fight it
To somehow loosen its hold
But that is only if she wants to
The cold has numbed her
She considers submitting
Disappearing to the depths
The choice, to sink or swim
