Blue,
My striped bathing suit,
Cold glides over my,
My body is covered with the chills,
I sink, deeper, deeper, deeper,
I find myself,
In a place no one else can see,
It takes me for ransom,
Images flash though my memory,
I see myself,
Smiling and laughing,
No, screaming with rage,
Confused,
Really who am I?
A nobody, prep, nerd?
Am I who I say I am?
Air.
And I sink, deeper, deeper, deeper,
Do people just think they know me?
Or do they?
Am I really what they tell me,
Or am I living a facade?
I don't know me,
Do you?
