Swimming in this never ending abyss
If this is what the afterlife is like maybe I shouldn't have done it
It's dark and it seems like there's no way out
There is no moon, no sun
Nothing
Just water
The only noise coming from the ripples
The shaky breaths and coughs you let out as you come up from below
It won't let you go
You can't drown
Your punishment you say
For wanting to leave
And now it reminds you of what you did
What you tried to do
Because after many tries
You grow exhausted
You slowly float up and drift off
Then you awaken
Every night you have this dream, yet you forget
You wake up with the feeling of anguish and exasperation
You blame yourself for these thoughts
Why do I feel like this?
Yet, you must continue on
So, after a long tired filled night
You get in the bath
Letting the warm water rise as you sit in the middle
Slowly you lay down and look up
You smile as the warm water covers you
Like a warm blanket before your first alarm rings
You close your eyes and open them once more to see you are back in the water
The never ending abyss
Yet this time there's light
The moon
The sun
It's coming back
All of the light is coming back
You float as the waves softly carry you towards the moon
There your eyes are opened to many marvels
Life
Death
Every single thing in between
It reminds me that life may not be so bad
when I'm
Swimming in this never ending abyss.
