Salvation

In the depths of despair,

where shadows dwell.

I find myself lost,

beneath the ocean’s spell.

 

Silent waves engulf me,

pulling me down,

into the abyss. 

I drown.

 

I’m sinking to the depths,

where darkness reigns.

Beneath the surface, torment lies.

But I won’t surrender, I’ll fight the ocean’s arms,

I’ll swim through the chaos.

 

With every gasp of air,

I feel the weight.

Like an anchor of sorrow 

trying to seal my fate.

But deep within

I feel something,

 

yes, a flicker,

a flicker

getting brighter.

 

I’m ready.

 

I’m rising from the depths,

leaving darkness behind,

emerging from the abyss,

a fireball through the sky.

No longer confined!

Redefined.

Let the oceans whisper their tales of despair,

I won’t be around to hear them.

Though my battle scars may linger forever,

I’m…able…to breathe again.
