Letting Go

A Poem by nmpsr14

this water deep
is surrounding me,
is seeping underneath
my skin

this water deep
is sickening me,
is trying to make my

world spin

this water deep
is suffocating me,
is threatening to swallow
me whole

this water deep
is killing me
is wasting away at
my soul

this water deep
is cleansing me
is letting me
let go

I love how the same water that is tainting your existence is also the water that is helping you let go of things in life. This sounds like this is about depression, which I can totally understand. The sorrow may consume you, but you can also allow it to make you pure again, to make you finally see the beauty in living. Nice job!
