Poetry [trigger warning] Bottom of the Sea

It's been quite a while since I've written poetry, the last time I did so... was when I was struggling with depression back in high school. As coincidence may have it... I was inspired to write again. My writing isn't for everyone, it can be very painful for some, but I don't write these words lightly. I understand all implications and would never joke about it. So... without any more delay, here's what I have to say.

Once again I sit here
With the sand at my feet
What is there to fear?
Nothing when you're this deep
Staring into the distance
Where the water is to dark
I put up no resistance
To the forces at work

The waves pass by
Overhead, undisturbed
Down here, there's little light
Peace and quiet preferred
Where I just sit
no sense of those fits
Just another day
In other's way

Sometimes I want to surface
Not to feel worthless

That would be the dream
But that's not so as it seems

When you're at their mercy
Do they draw blood?

Do they see the controversy?
Do they do as they should?


Crimson drops but whose to see in the whole sea?
What's a drop of
red to the things we've said?
Where it disappears as quickly as it came?
We move along, with little shame.


So let her sit
Let her
drip
One drop at a time
Until there's
nothing left
One more coffin in the ground
One soul, gone without a sound

This is why it must be
With the sand between my feet

At the bottom of the sea.
