just outside of my watery grave
don't ever assume I have the privilege of misery
that thought is but stale
where is my shoe,
it is too late to contemplate
remind me the chain of sequence
(I was wearing white with five carat diamond)
how I fell into water or was I pushed
I am all mushed up in there
akin to a boil in a cherry
abhorring yet fascinating
in the light of day
don't let anyone get away
I am not hidden in darkness
"not again. never again. I will float out.
I will not suffer the fate of Pluto"

There's something particularly eerie about a drowning. Was she pushed? I like how your character expresses her dismay and anger.
Beautiful!

Elements of mystery and perhaps criminal intent hinted here. It's good to leave them wondering, Gautami!

Enchanting ride down the Ganges
Your character challenges, even though I'm not sure what will happen. This is a strong piece.
Well done!
