Drowning
Ahmed Fares94

Adrift at sea, is where no one has found me. I am not a sailor and not a pirate

I am a lonesome wonderer and doomed survivor.

I am looking for my way home, a place to call my own, a place where I belong

to warm my feet, have some food to eat, and enjoy the company of a fire.

The silence is a nice break for once, away from all the distractions of the world

just me, myself and I to sail around middle earth.

I am not on a boat, not as safe as it would seem.

A block of ice broke apart, beneath my feet.

Through the chilled waters of purgatory this glacier well drift

me sitting a top, heavy hearted and stiff.

I can not find closure, not here not now

the water is bitter, it offers no comfort.

Heavy hearted, I am anchored

to the bottom, down, down, down.

The pressure builds as the abyss consumes me

swallowed whole this is my funeral.

In search of comfort, I struggle to hold my breath

as I near the end.

Chest on fire, in the frigid arctic water

clawing for the surface, I can see no more.

Blackness, just blackness

no light at the bottom

It is here in the mud

where I find my solace

My body lay lifeless

in the land of lost corpses

Alone, the wonderer

has found a home

Man to earth, turned to stone

man to earth, he is unknown.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
