In The Deep

Waves of sadness arise from an ocean of sorrow    
Drifting just beneath the surface  
A girl with no time left to borrow    
    
Despite her attempts to escape the deep and the dark    
She remains anchored to the sea floor    
Weighed down by a heavy heart    
   
Accompanying her    
The vacant shells of unkept promises    
Alongside them    
The murky remnants of unpaid for consequences    
   
Within the few, fleeting moments she has ever spent reflecting    
The girl recounts how often she has feigned victim in her life story's retelling    
   
Her shallow energy    
Not fixated on how to improve    
But with the amount of blame she can place on you    
   
With a storm of hate approaching soon    
She must stay afloat    
Each tide of emotion    
Changing violently with the position of the moon    
   
Embracing vulnerability    
No longer afraid of rejection    
She boldly dismisses the siren's leering calls toward perfection    
   
Released from her self prison    
She encounters clear waters    
Here is a place where love is all that she plans to foster
