Surface
Under the surface
It’s always under the surface
When life asks too much
When it hurts more to feel
Than to touch my torments
I release all in the ocean
Under the surface
It’s always under the surface
I can scream
I can swim
I move slower
I feel nothing
Even the pain can disappear
The need to rise can be suppressed
For as long as I need
I have a towel waiting above
I can wrap myself in troubles once more
But what if
What if I waited
Waited and waited
Under the surface
Always under the surface
It’s always under the surface
When life asks too much
When it hurts more to feel
Than to touch my torments
I release all in the ocean
Under the surface
It’s always under the surface
I can scream
I can swim
I move slower
I feel nothing
Even the pain can disappear
The need to rise can be suppressed
For as long as I need
I have a towel waiting above
I can wrap myself in troubles once more
But what if
What if I waited
Waited and waited
Under the surface
Always under the surface

Very nicely written, yes, its always under the surface although beneath can be a bottomless ocean

Without an end to depth. Where else would such a sea stand except the human soul? Thanks for reading

Found your poem comforting in a most personal sense; always as one with the sea. Truly enjoyed this. :-)
