To the deepest Depths I am willing to go |
An Ocean In My Veins by Keaton Foster A sea Swirling Beneath Rivers Of fate Tributaries Of fears The depths Quite clear Creatures Big and small Predators And prey Fighting To remain Washing away Betraying What’s safe An ocean In my veins Tidal pools Of memories That I must face Cascades Of waves That I must embrace Pain expressed As ripples between Diving deeper Into my soul Saturating my bones Exposing the holes Water seeps in Hurt floods out Porous These finger tips Like pins holes In a dam The pressure The expression Just too great An ocean In my veins Troubled These eyes Beams of light Within total darkness Its scary down here It’s terrifying out there Drowning withing thyself A hell of a way to go A hell of a way to remain I have always felt as I do I have always known what I must I am not like you Nor am I like myself I am something else Something deeper Someone darker Then the deepest depths Of all that I fight to expose An ocean In my veins A sea of creatures All looking to feast On all that makes me whole Saturated are my bones Empty is this soul Not a home But a void filled With thoughts Deeper than any person Victim, should ever go I know I expose What can be What has been As I drown Within what I know Because of all That has been done What were once streams Then rivers Quickly became Vast seas Endless oceans Suffocating depths Of abundant darkness I am in all places At all stations Within myself All that remains And what invades Slowly escapes An ocean In my veins Will always be An endless sea Crashing down Upon and within me… Written by Keaton Foster Copyright © 2008-2021 |
