as i loosened my grip on the rope?
    i began to sink down into a vast emptiness ?
  a colorless sea that surrounded me ?
holding on to every bone in my body ?
  tightening its grasp on my fragile ?gure ?
    seeping through every vein
      storming through the gates I had tediously built my entire life?
    reaching all the way to my soul ?
  uncovering a rain of emotions that were long buried  ?
the waves began to simultaneously crash over me ?
  dragging me down farther and farther ?
    and as I struggled to hold on to the last sliver of rope I had ?
      i felt a shock run through my body ?
    electrifying every cell and infuriating my blood
  every thought in my mind dissolved into an acidic sea of confusion
which I ?oated on e?ortlessly, relaxing every muscle
  looking up and admiring the in?nite sky of possibility
    knowing one day I would be one of those stars
       constantly lighting the way for others who
          like me, dazed and confused 
        weren't able to ?nd their way back alone
