#2904

I think it's weird how feelings are engineered.
They are completely unpredictable.
Absurd, most of the times.

You've drowned.
Deep.
Landing on the ocean floor.
Alive and breathing.
Looking up.
But not feeling like surfacing.

Seasons passed and still,
you don't feel like swimming up.
But you don't suffocate either.
You don't yarn for the sky.
Though that is what you used to love the most.
You missed seeing the clouds
but you can't seem to bounce your feet off the ocean floor.
But somehow, the ocean and sky share the same blue.
And maybe,
just maybe,
you hope you could live your whole life underwater.

But you can't.
Because you don't belong.
And you know that very well.
So why can't you just whip your feet
and flutter kick yourself to the surface
and swim to the shore?
You're free to leave.
Yet, you stayed.

Absurd, no?
