I used to want to be a fantasy creature.
Can you guess which one?
[[not this one the first time->but do I?]]
[[nope]]
[[no]]
[[mermaid]]
I wished to be a [[mermaid]] I wished to be a [[mermaid]]
I wanted to be one with the water and the [[brilliant ocean]]I wished to be a [[mermaid]] I cannot [[swim]][[swims]] [[swimsw]][[swimswimswimICANNOTSWIM]](text-style:"strike") [icannotswim]
(text-style:"blur") [ICANNOTSWIM]
if i go into the (text-style:"smear") [ocean]
[[oooocean]]I will surely (text-style: "shudder") [die]
I will surely [[drown]]Haven't I drowned already?
When was the last time I (text-style: "smear") [drowned?]
when did i last fall under the water's icy grip?
[[last week]]
[[The Other Day]][[YeStErDaY]][[TOMORROW?]]
[[TOMORROW?]]
[[TOMORROW?]]
[[Today?]]
I drown every time the floodgates break to my mind
Every time I end up opening them myself
I drown (text-style:"blink")[myself]
(text-style:"strike") [myself]
[[myself]]
there is a cadaver in the water
one made up of
hope
dreams
algae
and a wish
To be [[a mermaid]]T

[[but some things can't be helped]]Sometimes I can't come up for air in [[time]][[i wish for time back]]but wishes don't come true
(text-style:"strike") [not for me anyways]
Wishes can't come [[true]]Tell me what is true what is not and why do i [[often]]when there's nothing else to hold [[onto]]at the end of the sunset where i sit at the edge of the [[forest]]cloaked in silence and trees

where
my

a wish

came from
the whispers
that always emerge
from those darn

in my brain
that say

after a

But do I?But I don't.
At least for now. [[to drown->but do I?]]
[[to drown]]
[[to finally drown]]
