“In Doubt” by Brooke Hebert / “A Gloomy Day” by Amina Malik

“A Gloomy Day”

the water looks cold like ice the combustion from it

like straight out of a freezer and

i want to jump in but i cant and i want to dive in but i

i wont afraid that my fingers will crumble like snow if i do

so i

stay my feet dangling from the pier so close to the numb water

is what i want to say but all i could manage is

the water looks cold

like snow and its almost frozen over maybe we shouldnt jump in

maybe we shouldnt dive in

And my friend walks back to the opposite end of the pier

mumbling about my uncertainty why so indecisive?

why so uncertain mumbling through i even ask myself

why i am so uncertain why im so indecisive
