"I've been sitting at the bottom of a swimming pool for a while now, drowning my thoughts out with the sounds"

-Young God, Halsey-

At the bottom of a pool
Is where you can find
Your home, body and
Soul rest within a room

Of immense clarity, full
Serenity. It's funny how
I cannot swim, yet this
Urge of finding peace at

Waters end fills my heart
In my ears waves echo in
Loud crashes, hitting shore
Soft sand surrounding each

And every bone, closing my
Eyes, I picture blue-green sea
Midnight, gold, flame, sun plus
Green coloured fish out in the

Open, swimming freely with no
Barriers to keep them from crossing
To another world. Such freedom in
A wide, open, wild, dangerous place

Blood lusting, white teeth glowing in
The night, looking for a piece to bite
Deadly creatures lurk behind pretty
Reefs, vibrant strings, aesthetic things

Before your eyes.
