STRONG LANGUAGE WARNING
Before I knew it, my hands were no longer gripping the rough wooden edge of the deck. Yet, they were out in front of me, embracing the cold waves that soon engulfed me as a whole. I began to sink my thoughts taking over my eyes as I gazed at the sunlight dancing on the broken waves.  Maybe it's  fate, a sign. I was meant for loneliness. To be abandoned in the large cold abyss. To be forgotten, to sink far from anyone I can hurt. I felt my consciousness waver as I  drifted into eternal slumber beneath the ocean's waves. I let my last breath of air go, the air escaping my mouth in bubbles. My limbs going numb as I leave the realm of the living to join the spirits of my ancestors.
