Seaside Suicide

The waves grow larger as they draw near I just want to disappear The white water crashes against the jagged rock shore I really thought that there’d be more The air is salty and the breeze sings its song Have I been living my life all wrong? Seawater sprays me in a fine mist I’m worthless I’m worthless I’m worthless I’m worthless The clouds drift overhead in wisps of white against the black I would turn around now but it’s too late to backtrack I’m already here At the edge the pier My intentions are sincere So please—don’t interfere I’ll let the waves wash me away I hope this is the end of my dismay I really don’t want to stop halfway Just do it Just do it Just do it Just do it I take a deep breath as my feet give way
