I reach for a rock
to keep
from drowning
amongst the crashing
waves
I fall into
the
murky depths,
swallowing my
poison
I sink lower and
lower…
the sun fades
a distant past
a distant life
future’s degenerate
nature
the decadence
I craved…
in my mind,
has become
reality
Notes
- A poem about sinking down down down into the “murky depths” of depression & seeking a way out of this seeming inevitability.
Written: 1997
