Until I Am Nothing
April 27, 2023
I am alone yet filled with thousands
When my heartbeats, your cities are destroyed
When I dance, you drown.
When I breathe, you struggle.
I cannot control my motions.
Yet the sight of me insinuates peace
I am filled with your filth
You are slowly killing me, and choosing to do so.
I did not ask for you,
My children were safe before you
I need my heart to beat, I need to dance, I need to breathe.
I am alone yet filled with thousands
My children are taken by fishermen, hungry
My coral is destroyed by scuba-divers, interested
My body is dying, filled with oil, dirty.
Even if you are hungry, interested, or dirty
You take from me as much as you can
Until I am nothing.

I wrote this piece on the destruction of the ocean and what humans have done to it. I have never been extremely into nature or saving it because I had one eye only for my life but ever since the Willow Project I've had a hard time ignoring it.
