When I began my journey
I was standing on a
Joyful beach with
People I loved.

But something happened
And I don't know why.
I was drawn
To the black, merciless
Water.

With each step
My grief and sorrows grow.
The water calls me
I couldn't not obey
I waded in
Up to my ankles.
The rough water lapping
My heels.
Step by step
The water rising
To the rythm of my gaint
Up to my chin now
And I know the more I go
The less I will be able to stop
But I continue.
I stop when the water reaches
Right above my upper lip
I want to continue
But something tells me
I shouldn't.
I push that
Voice of the small angel
In the midst of lurking demons.
I walked on
Until I was completely
Covered by the
Heartless currents
Terror flooded me
I screamed
My face frozen thin a look of horror
Only to see the last of my air
Float to the surface
My hands curled
into claws
The claws of the demons
Who overtook me
My lungs screamed for air
Using the last of it
My body floating limp now
Only my mind struggling
For the impossible savior.
The surface faded
Fading, fading
Into black

As I was swallowed whole
By depression.
