Trapped Within Consciousness

I lay staring up at the open waves,

The anchor weighing me down to the bed of the ocean,

The sun glaring across the dense space, mocking my current state.

I am not drowning, oh no, but I am confined.

The weightlessness serenading my mind and coursing through my body,

But unable to identify the time,

Surrounded by the moving waves, always nudging at me, keeping me awake,

Carelessness as my eyes unable to close, while they procrastinate.

Barely able to delegate what date is coming and going,

I feel my teeth grate as I lay and wait for the sleep to take me away.

As I wait for someone to come and save me, to lay with me,

It is so goddamn lonely while I float around suffocating in the ocean straight.

There is no ground I can see,

One million things passing through my thoughts of freedom,

But not one has become the victor.

The claustrophobia is getting to me,

The pressure of the water is gradually weighting heavier upon me as each second passes.

I am drowning within my dignity,

And insanity is creeping up on me.

This is what deprivation inflicts upon thee.
