Drowning is the opposite of breathing,
cold is the absence of warmth,
death is the absence of life.
She used to weigh out these checks & balances herself,
used to weigh good against bad & greatness to its opposite, but
she was the scale, the judge, she took
the weight of all the corrections upon herself & her own sins
she could not bear the weight on her own.
She hated all of the things
that she could not control; therefore, she felt powerless.
the breath knocked out of her, tears straining her sight,
her knees on the floor, she prayed for all of her
uncontrolableness to be put in God's hands.
She prayed for her mental health to be protected.
