The Ocean's Call

A poem about a girl feeling the depression sink into her and her thought to the worst.

I'm sitting here on the ledge

My feet dangle above the fifty feet difference

The ocean is calling me as it barks against the rocks

"How many has it taken?" I ask myself

This ocean has heard stories, felt the pain of others

Oh the tales it could tell...

I wait for the call

I listen, but no one comes

I did not hope, for I knew no one cared

My last hope was never there

I feel that cool wind wisp through me and throw my head back

Feeling the soft breeze, the ocean calls

She says wonderful words

She says she can bring me to the light

I do as she whispers ever so lightly

And I jump

I fall, but I felt more alive then I ever have

No more lies can keep me down

I soak up every last moment by breathing it all in

As quickly as I lost hope, was as fast as falling

And then happened

All the life was gone and I hit the ocean

Waves upon waves crashed into my face

Feeling the rush was my greatest and last endeavor
