So I was writing a poem for my OLDER sisters homework assignment and I came up with this idea and one other one. R&R
Life Pool
Life's pool of water
Its currents will pull you down
Or the wind will make you float above
I thought it was so simple
As I floated around
I'd find my way
I wouldn't be lost
But I didn't realize
How strong the currents run
Halfway through the year
I started to flounder
My flails attracting sharks that lurked these waters
With their short skirts and designer clothes
How long after, I can't remember
But I sunk so much farther
The sharks' teeth wedged in my foot
And slowly dragging me down
Into the blackest of waters
Until I was blind
I could do nothing
No thought was my own
The words I spoke turned into well rehearsed lies
And I saw nothing but the black around me
My memory proves beaten
For I cannot remember when my struggle stopped
The blood loss can only last so long
Before there's no more
And I'm too worn to try anymore
And I just don't want to wake up the next time I go to bed
So I took my stand
One random day
And decided I'd had enough
So without any goodbyes
For whom would I tell them too?
I finally fell asleep
Into an endless dream
For which I hope I never wake up
