Sinking Feeling
I struggle through the depths
But contract the bends
My body floats on the waves
But my soul stays behind
Is this peace? Is it death?
There is no certainty
I thus far sense the pressure
The weight of the sea
The surface seems quite distant
Water takes my breath
I settle in the silt
While sharks circle overhead.
But contract the bends
My body floats on the waves
But my soul stays behind
Is this peace? Is it death?
There is no certainty
I thus far sense the pressure
The weight of the sea
The surface seems quite distant
Water takes my breath
I settle in the silt
While sharks circle overhead.

I like the way you describe different parts of you not moving together in the same direction with this fine metaphor.

I tend to think my mind, body and soul are separate entities. I can only hope my soul survives. Thank you JusTim!

Thank you Al. I agree. A metaphor can be applied to other lives, even if the context is a bit personal. I'm just glad others can relate.

All those who have suffered find themselves, at some point, divided at the core. Your soul is pure, my brother. Death is only a transition, not the condition. I truly believe that you are great soul. You are immortal. This write is a great reflection on an eternal truth: the division of the human nature. I always see in your interior reflections a hope that I lack and I admire you for it. Great ink

Thank you J. My hope falters but somehow remains. How long it will stay I have no idea. I have a few mantras to help me along, supplied by my therapist. "I'm strong. I can do this" brings a note of hope, however fleeting. The weakness, and pessimism, still remain. Thank you again, dear friend.
