unending promises

floating.
i guess.
when you hold your breath.
youre under water and cant breathe yet somehow there is safety.
despite the fact that there is no life you are safe.
slowly water bubbles accumulate on your arms and legs.
youre not even thinking about holding your breath anymore.
slowly you approach that one thought that you normally dont allow to surface.
you see it coming closer and closer to the front of your heart and mind.
your chest is tight but before you know it the secret and hurt is released.
its the safety you crave.
its out in the open and you are freed.
but from what.
because now your lungs demand air.
you grind your teeth together as if that will sustain you.
slowly you float back to the surface.
the vulnerable and open air stings your body.
its shocking but expected.
