SUBMERGED…

I walked into the ocean I had created…

I took baby steps,

Thinking I was just going for a quick swim…

The deeper I went

The harder it got to look back.

Slowly,

I walked into this pool

Of never ending sentiments

Until

I was totally immersed.

Too deep to even remember

Why I was there in the

First place …

Then.

I drowned…

This became home…

I could hear voices reaching out

To my subconsciousness

But these voices had no effect

On my emotions…

I did not need help.

I did not need anything at all.

What I needed was

To be there.

Right there.

The right time

Was just there.

No matter how it felt,

It was what I was supposed

To feel just then.
