The water warmly kisses my skin
As I slowly succumb to the dim
Lit abyss
It glimmers in the moonlight
Blessing my eye’s sight
And helps me to reminisce
It hugs my heart and cleanses my soul
Mending the hole
Left by those i miss
I try not the get annoyed
Listening to rain fills that empty void
That once was filled with joyfulness
Breathing through my veins
Ridding me of my pain
Floating away from what was once amiss
Turn my worries to wonders
And then my mind ponders
The thought of pure bliss
My heart beats like rain drops
Fast and racing
Pounding the floor with its mighty roar
As the wind dictates and drives the bay
Where the lonely lay
Silently sinking its claws into the soft supple sea
Leaving it weak, breathless, insubordinate
Tainted by the winds desires to strike on the misfortunate
Our breathing rushed
Our souls disconnected
Our lives crushed
Our minds affected
When the water has reached its boiling point
Bubbling with rage
Trapped with the negative feelings
Steaming our inner demons
Blurring our path
The wind is like a whirlpool of emotions
Bustling and burning
Like sharp daggers pricking my skin
Leaving me bleeding in despair
Distress, loneliness, exhaustion
All piled up against each other to form a great tide of emotions
Oh how you would heal
But pain departs for no one
It clings to you
With Its breath raw with the sweet taste of bitterness
Sweet and sickle
Wait... Breathe
For when the winds anger fades
And we are no longer afraid
The water falls
Breaking down our walls
Loneliness is a disease of this generation
Lingering in the shadows of this nation
And sometimes we fail to foresee its full abrasion
The impact it has on this generation
Our expectation for our lives high
When really we are surrounded by daily complication
When one dives into a deep blue world of depression
We forget the power we each have
The reformation we can each bring to ourselves and society
We no longer have to suffer Silently
