TOO DEEP

Drown me in the shallow water

Before I get too deep

Inside of you,inside of me,

The blackest ocean,

The darkest sea.



Slash my wrists before I bleed.

Choke me now,so I can breathe.

Kill me,so that I won't die.

Break my heart,so I can't cry.

Hurt me,so I feel no pain.

Change me,so I stay the same.

Strip me of Identity,

So I can learn how to be me.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

This is what i refer to as a "Contradictive poem",and it's used to describe the confusion we all feel at one time or another in our lives.
