For Katherine

She always said she wanted to be a superhero.

Saving people.

But the problem with that was

She wasn't able to save herself.

Her world was filling up with water

Aaaaa became harder and harder to breathe.

So she grew gills and learned how.

When her world was full of water,

It was also filled with sharks.

Just nipping at her toes.

Enough so she could bleed.
