Oceans always seemed deeper than they were and you never knew why
You never knew why the currents pulled things under when all they wanted to do was float

Fragility
Let me feel like a feather that lays a top the crisp ocean, freshly fallen off a bird because it was too weak to stay attached
Too weak to go on the bird’s journey because it’d eventually fall off somewhere
I didn’t want to fall off in the wrong place and have to find my new home
So I fell onto the water because I didn’t want to know how far I’d eventually sink
