Edward Schmitz Poet Rhyme

Feeling Down

I sink into this tranquil sea
It’s silence builds and weighs on me
I feel as though I cannot breathe
Within these depths I sit and grieve 
There are no fish within this sea
In fact, down here, is only me
I think someday I’ll lose my mind 
And I’m afraid of what I’ll find 
Down here where I am on my own 
Down here where We are all alone 
Down here, within this tranquil sea
Down here to keep me company
