Poem
I sank so low, I settled on the oceans floor No mammal no fish I had no wants not one wish I wanted to keep sinking more I have explored here before No one else wanted to go The depths so very low Yet I kept sinking more I wasn't down there long enough I usually would come up Just to get some air, Then sink back down in despair I would rather live down there below Cause low is all I know Everybody I ever had around Slowly I dragged them down I was just starting to cope With possibly losing my father I gave up hope,and assumed my love would find another Drowning,in the lowest part of the ocean Is where I discovered my mother I put my arms and legs in motion I swam as fast as I could She had to recover She was who I needed she understood My spirit was about to leave And leave my love alone with grief Then suddenly I got some relief Standing firmly on land Someone reached and grabbed my hand She pulled me to shore I held my mother I thought how I made them suffer My wife alone to walk the earth And the scar on my mother,from the day of my birth My wife began to weep And asked for me to explain I kissed her and told her I'm sorry I left you astray I found my mother she was down there beside me We stood above her and told her we loved her She must of drowned a long time ago Quit was kept so no one would know How she truly believed none of us cared that is a feeling that both of us shared My mother drowned so I can live It's the only way she can answer my questions My wife prayed for strength from up above It had to go to this extent For my whole life to make sense My mother never felt any of our love She was down there feeling exactly the same We were both trying to switch the blame I had to sink to as low as could be For me to understand people love me She new how to love but a different way to show it She drowned so I can live on Life will be better now that I know it My wife can rest assured I can love her the way she deserves Now the feelings are no longer hidden behind a veil Resentments are finally gone And life can move on.
