I'm going down, nope not yet, just around and around.Β  Always around, around this whirlpool that I swam towards.Β  But that's the thing about whirlpools, you have to go around and around before you can go down. And that, well, that's just annoying. Because I can see myself going around and around but I can't swim out and IΒ can't swim up and I definitely, definitely can't swim down. Cuz down is where I'm going, but I don't want to go that way. But I really don't want to go around and aroundΒ either. Can somebody just plug the drain to wherever this whirlpool is going? If you could just plug it, maybe I could stop going around and around. And then maybe, just maybe,Β I could stop going down if I could stop going around and around. Like a merry go round, except I don't feel very merry at all, just dizzy. And if you can't plug this whirlpool or stop this merry go round, can I just go down? Because at least if I'm going down I know which way I'm going. But instead I'm just going around and around, and now I don't know where I came from or where I was trying to go. Do you know? No? Oh, well, I just lost my flow.Β But this water is still flowing, around and around, please just let me go down, because down is where I'm going, well, eventually, at least. But first I have to go around and around.Β  Β

Here is the plug, hurry grab it. This is very expressive. There is hope in this tragic Merry go round, because there is to me a sly sense of humor in the writing.Β

Thanks! I appreciate that..... there is definitely an undertone of hope (even though i didn't see it at the time). Looking back, I now know the plug was in my hands, and, for that matter, will always be. And, when I use it, I can float calmly and peacefully in vast waters. Thanks for reading!
