Immersion

Releasing Internal Pain

 

 

Immersion

 

as i stare into the water

trying to find something no longer

there

i feel so uneasy

and yet everything seems so clear

 

blocking out all sound

ignoring voices of concern all

around

there's no saving a life that's

fading

hiding in plain sight refusing to

be found

 

i take a step

i feel the wind caressing my

neck

closing my eyes i fantasize

morbid freedom that will soon

materialize

 

one final look behind my

shoulder

a tear creates a ripple effect

no longer am i a reject

unloved or

scorned

a mistake who shouldn't have been

born

empty pleas fail to convince

i will no longer keep the crowd in

suspense...

 

liquid coldness;

this is what i've chosen

may God have mercy on my soul

as my flesh will soon be

frozen

Your words sound lonely but flow sweetly across the page.

So sad, but so unnecessary. Good, solemn write though. Well versed.
