"Thoughts of Swimming" by Elexer Lyra

Thoughts of Swimming

By Elexer Lyra


Can you hold me close,
Like a jellyfish?
But not with
As much sting?
We are together,
But not everything.
You are my closest friend,
Who whispers thoughts of triumph-
Or false information.
  Can you be the parent 
Within my mind?
One, which says I can swim
and not drown?
