The Dark Seas Reprisal~part III~
As I slip under the surface of these seas
I catch a glimpse of myself under the dark waters
Struggling for the surface
Struggling for life
I see the relief in myself as I break the surface
A large breath, A sudden smile of life
I had made it
I had survived
For now my trip is only starting
Sinking down into the depths is all I see
Surrounded by darkness
Surrounded by despair
My eyes blacken and close
No breath from my lungs give me life
Willing myself to fall
Resigning myself to die
Yet still I live sliding deeper into the sea
Images catch my eyes forcing them open
My life played before my eyes
My life like a simpleton film
I've lived these images, replayed them time and again
Lost in what could, would, or should've been
Dwelling on the unchangable past
Not looking ahead nor living
The anger builds within myself, at myself
A problem I've had forever now
I dig the pit before I take a step
Sink the ship before I set sail
I push towards the surface now sick of myself
Breaking this grasp of despair I must
My chest pounding so hard
My chest, my heart, my weakness
Relief I find as I break to the surface
A large breath, A sudden smile of life
I've made it
I've survived
I clutch to the wood that floats around me
Perhaps I've given up sailing
I tie some boards together
Make myself a raft, gotta start somewhere
