Creature

How am I supposed to ignore curiosity? 

When they discourage my questioning

i want to know all the answers

I am not afraid.

 

I am trying not to sink

I have swallowed so much of this sea

If there's nothing left to discover

I might as well end up drowning

 

Throw me something

Drag me to the surface

Make my decent into madness

Something worth it

I peeling off my own skin

Trying to escape

The creature within.
