Pelagic

I've swum to the deep parts again
a current of tears brings forth memories
old wounds reopened,
salt water rushes in

A hurricane of fear
brings sadness to the shores of my soul
leaving sediment in my heart,
the sea wall has fallen

The Barrier reef of the brain
a long, narrow ridge of coral thoughts
beyond it
a lagoon of madness

Sunken ships of lost feelings
trying to resurface
anger floats like driftwood
that came from the abyss

the hadal of the psyche
dark and deep
pain and angst
trying to come up for air

trenches of unfathomable lengths
linear and narrow,
run across my arm
scars of the past

Tidal waves of a haunted legacy
beating down Upon the coastline of insanity
immersed in torment
i try not to drown
