Positively Bouyant
November 24, 2013
For everyone who’s scared of drowning,
just remember this body is made from water, too.
You will float, my dear, these waves will not
collapse your ribcage,
nor swallow you whole.
I know they are daunting, and you
have seen too many people pulled under,
but you must remember
those hearts were filled with stones
and spite.
Darling, I have seen your heart.
Your pulse will not quiver just because
the salt kisses your skin.
