Drowning with this worldA Poem by Clare AshburyDrifting against the water Darkness surrounds me The fins of the predator I am the victim prey Stabbed again and again with razors Salt within my eyes Waves against my body Splashing away my tears Trying so hard to survive against the current To find away to land But within the water I wait and dream My body hurts from swimming to long My eyes become just blurred Drinking to much sea water My mind becomes disoriented Tired oh so tired All i want is to sleep Close my eyes slowly Yet as i lay upon the waves upon my back I slowly let my body grow heavy And drowned within the dark water The dark abyss becomes my world Never shall i ever get to land Failure. All within my hands.
.......is it the end?
