There needs to be a change
How one does that is an act of courage that needs to take place
I must jump from my safe space and into the pool of the unknown
I grow weak with each passing day
I'm scared I will not be able to keep afloat and retreat back to my safe space
shivering with regret
But isn't that the definition of courage?
The ability to do something that frightens one

i never learnt how to swim
yet here i am
with my head under water
and my clothes soaking wet

hoping
that the sea is more honest
with those who are willing to drown

I'll never **** with her,
           she's more lethal..
   than a James bond villain…

Her legs have more power
  than a Fukushima releasing
             her poison between
     my hips.

I'm a rod and she's
the water containing my
          explosion...

but she evaporated,
             never watching...

Realising,

that what I release is like a virus.


           Contaminating the womb
of creative contagion...


You'll float in the abortion of my
         chock hold of words...


You'll never be born, still born words,
                     I'll burn you in a shallow grave.
And you'll realise that I'm never  to be ****** with.


My words were like a machete of gunfire cutting
            you up before you even knew pain.

I'm a nationwide hunt, and you'll be buried
                                                       in my words,
shallow rhymes, given a urinated burial...
  
                           I'm relieved your here and not in my view.

This **** hurts
I can't feel a thing from my chest down
Please don't send for help
Please don't object
Just let me fall
Let the dark side of the night latch onto my body
Give it room to cover me give it space to surround
For I will either grow accustomed to these
dark currents
Or as the pressure increases in my lungs
I promise I will remember all the nice things for me you have done
All the laughter we shared when we were Young
And how I couldn't tell the difference between your love and the sun

My depression

       Only flows with tears



Of regretful consequence.


Do you know what warm tears
                Taste like.


The sorrows of what lays still.



    Im sorry, but I couldn't let  

              Another drown with

My irreversible mistake.  



Swim far, so I didnt sink,

          I want to swim,

With you all, family are together.

As we go on our journey
We      Crawl
              Walk
                Run
                 Race
                  Swim
                   Hike
                    Bike
Through what we call life
There are things we must do
There are things we must avoid
There are things we must finish
When we arrive here we have no clue
As we get there we will learn
We will
               Make Mistakes
                Fall in love
                 Get a job
                  Lose a job
                   Find a mate
                    Learn what it takes
                     Get older
And then it's over....
Have some fun while doing all of this

If he were the sun
I'd gladly embrace him
Even if it meant I'd burn

If he were an endless ocean
I'd swim until I drowned
Just to be with him

And if he were the sky
I'd live my entire life learning to fly
Just to reach him
I think this is my favorite poem I have written so far

all my love is within reach
all my paths and futures
i told death come swim with me
or drown on the shore in disbelief

nothing in the space between
there was nothing to fear, nothing to doubt
death alone could swim with me
where there’s nothing to fear, nothing to doubt

i asked the devil what do you see
all his paths and futures
he jumped into the river
and at once i ran to the space between
