Thoughts. There’s a sea of them in my head. Sometimes cerulean turns gray over my sea, and the gray either passes without further incident or turns blueish, like a drowned girl’s lips that’ll forever remain in a shocked grimace – born of surprise and fed with anger, but all that remains is hate; an ugly look, on such a beautiful face.

There, then, the rain begins, storm chasing its tail. Sometimes it catches up. Sometimes it doesn’t.

No matter. Either way, I drown. It is a pity I never learned how to swim. (It is a pity I’m the drowned girl.)
