I stand

above

the abyss

of wet tranquility

I

need to escape

So I jump

shattering the

the sheet of glass

There

are too many

waves

So

I struggle

to lose consciousness

To fade away

Suddenly

My breath stops

and everything

goes black

The darkness

is comforting

Its
Peaceful
Quiet
Serene

Then

I hear

my name being called

So

I

push up

and up

and up

Until

once again,

I break the glass

And breathe again

Disintegrating

the illusion
