Life Guard

The story of the lifeguard who was so gifted at saving others he waited on the ocean bed for them.

April 3/30

I walked out of depression with a balloon
tattooed on the back of my neck
because she makes them appear when I can’t get up on my own

I cannot wait for someone to ask me what it means,
so for once I won’t have to explain myself,
so I can respond by taking breaths
