"Frogland" by Alex, 13 | Under the Surface 2022
Trapped and I can’t get out
It seems easy to get out
But I can’t
The waves are pushing me down
People are saying “get up”
But I can’t
I am trapped
About Alex: "My name is Alex. I am at Northwest Passage because I have trauma I have to cope with and I need help. I like shopping, reading, drawing, and painting. I really enjoy under water photography, because for me it is calming. At first it was scary for me because I had to use a snorkel which I have never used before, and new things can be hard. "
