Being too comfortable in the water
I didn’t notice I was drowning:
An Icarus, who dove too deep.
.
Now I look up at the surface
Glistening with abandoned potential,
Helpless as I wait for sleep.

I never wanted to be the kind of poet that writes about being sad- or about being unlucky in love. I never wanted to be the kind of artist who helped to romanticise the things that are difficult enough, on their own, to escape.
Oh, the magic I used to chase only to be able to put in down on paper later. Glowing oceans and turbulent seas, healthy friendships and self love. Those where the things I sought too romanticise.
But now the magic has run out and all that’s left to do is keep writing.
