Do not worry about 'likes' this challenge is monarchy.
Thank you,

It warms my heart when I see young people who have recently joined our amazing writing group- Prose. It restores my faith in poetry, knowing it will live on.
Think of this as an english class and I am the teacher. Please share with me your 'own' poem, that has never before been in any challege or published here on the prose. It can be about anything. Poetry only (I prefer verse, with an awareness for simple grammar) although it is not mandatory.
I will read each piece thoroughly.
Please tag me after you have entered.
Please be patient if I do not review the same day you enter. I want to give every write the attention it deserves.
*Everyone will receive a review.
I am not a writing expert, reviews are based on my own experience of reading and writing poetry for many decades and what I have learned from my editors.
*These reviews are my opinion.
Thank you and have fun!

Breath
My lungs are filling up with water
And I decide to finally stop struggling
Because suddenly it doesn't matter
I sort of wish it was more alarming
I try to breath in
All I feel in the water moving within
I try to breath out
When nothing happens I realize that there's no doubt
I open my eyes and look up
And I just want the process to speed up
If only to stop the cold seeping into my bones
Or the thoughts of words carved in stone
I close my eyes one last time
That's when I feel a hand grab mine
