Skie had been holding onto the raft when it was ripped from her fingers. Her hands ached and stung as splinters set in, and were quickly drenched with salt water. Out loud she didn't swear, she never swore around strangers, but that didn't prevent her from thinking of them. The dark water of the ocean was only so clear. She looked down to see what supplies she could see. The long haired girl could just make out a dark figure floating down through the water. "I really ,really, hate my life right now." she muttered before diving under. She kept her eyes shut, for fear of the sting of salt water, and she made sure to blow out of her nose to keep her ears unplugged and her nose clear. Finally her hand ran over two smooth objects. She grabbed at them blindly, before letting her gut lead her to the surface of the water. She came up with a gasp for air and held up the two objects she found, one was a small compass, something important, and the other was a small pack of sardines. She grabbed one of the small pieces of wood and place the objects on it. "hope the compass didn't get ruined," she said with a sigh. She looked down into the water, she could just make out a few more shapes sinking but she was limited in her diving, and by the time she was under the water they would be out of reach.
Hiding under sheets with the news on repeat
'Cause the screams and cries are hard to delete
While I'm trying to sleep, oh how could I sleep?
Laying in bed, trying to empty my head
All these acts of violence ripping this world to shreds
While I'm trying to sleep, oh how could I sleep?
Wish there were words to say to make a change
Oh, the words to sing to end this suffering
Let's start a revolution where we all stand as one
Cause we need to make a change for a new day
We need to be the generation that’ll awaken a solution
Cause we need to make a change
Make a change, make a change for a new day
