In a cast

I was tightly trapped in a gilded cast.
Suffocating, within its confines.
Submerged, deep in the dark sea.
Now the cast has cracked.
And I shake vigorously.
Knowing, it will come loose.
And I shall go
Up,
Kicking my feet gently,
Back and forth.
Up
Up
Up
Till I finally break the surface.
Looking into the blue of the unreachable sky,
I shall take in a
Long,
Deep,
Sweet
Breath of life.
