Ocean

I am on the dock looking at the sea

I am not afraid if it eats me

I am not afraid if I drown

I am not afraid if I die

So then why do I struggle when they push me in?

Why do I cry when I try and hold on to what was never there?

Because this time when I slip up there will be no one to help me.

I will fall and fall deep into the ocean

And maybe this time instead of trying to swim to the surface

I will just let myself fall.

I'm so tired of fighting for nothing

What is it that I crave so much on the surface?

The surface doesn't like me and I don't like the surface.

So why am I so desperate to go back?
