PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I’ve done it again.

I drag myself under each time.

struggle to keep my head above the waves,

but always the opposite effect.

I drown in my own self pity.

Choke on words far too fast for my tongue.

And you?

You watch me laughing.

Holding my head under water

with your revengeful self-satisfied stares.

Why did I waste my time diving,

when I knew I would sink to the bottom?

I lay motionless at the bottom of my pool.

And you?

You turn your eyes away.

Avoid the guilt that consumes your holiness.

No regrets for what has happened

I no longer struggle but accept my fate.

Release my last breath towards the green light.

I’ve Done it again.

But this time it’s far worse than before.

This time my lifeless body will not resurface.

Never again shall I dive,

into the intriguing blue green waters.
