Vision

as i slip beneath the currents
recent emotions, waves so recurrent

no splashing,no gagging,no fighting fears
silently submit in pools of tears

ripples of turmoil,waters up to my neck
the ship is sinking,yes I'm a wreck

this angst that grips has a hold of me
plunging me in the mists of insanity

defenses fail me,don't know who to trust
bloody nails in the coffin,waters have rust

innocence lost because life corrupts
corrodes and disgusts,the waters engulf

swallows my soul,in the belly of the whale
yet i live to tell this tale

Ive learned enough lessons to last all my years
needless to say Ive cried too many tears

seas of sorrow, rivers of regret
tumultuous tides that wont let me forget

that on my head sits a fiery crown
so when overwhelmed i lay my burdens down

let them drown in the bittersweet calming eery
the ironic epitome of tranquility and calamity

an aquatic grave to bury strife
water the taker and giver of life!!


*inspired by What the water gave me by Florence and the machine*

"lay me down... let the only sound... be the overflow, pockets full of stones"
