Treading Waters
Swimming in a sea of pain
Doing laps inside a brain
Corrupted by a loneliness
A soul has ever-long repressed
Every time I push through a wave
I consider that which I gave
To a life of yesterday
With ghosts that linger as they prey
Upon the essence of my soul
Making it impossible to be whole
Here I float, in this abyss
Feeling the cold of the water’s caress
Alone and tossed upon this sea
A ed up broken entity
