i leaned forward
over
the pier, above
the lake,
i fell in.
with hardly a splash.
i disappeared
quickly,
wiping away
the reflection
that i gazed upon,
someone
who
often resembled me,
but not
always.
i sunk into darkness,
without air,
without sunlight,
without the sound of others.
before long
i realized
who i wasn't,
who i would never be.
i had to settle
on just
me.
