Merfolk Hope

Every chance 

I swam undersea 

Arms aside  

Thighs tight  

Feet ballet 1 

Uncut hair streaming 

Hoping against hope  

Merfolk mermen mermaids swam upon me 

Saved me away to Mer kingdom  

Forever 

I longed to breathe 

Mer wet salt air 

Losing hope 

Age 12…13 

Yet 

Still peek for mermaids mermen merfolk 

Hope undersea
