A Sea Monster Named Sadness
sometimes it’s like
i’m swimming in an ocean
and there’s no land around
so i have to keep swimming
and i swim and i swim
and there’s something pulling
at my legs
something strong and
urging
gripping me and dragging me
down and down and
my head goes under
it goes under and suddenly
i’m engulfed and i’m
struggling i’m struggling
against it but it’s not
helping
for every second that my head
breaks the surface and i
can breathe there are 60 where
i’m going under
and eventually
i wonder
what’s the point
if all i ever do is fight in
vain
surely it’d just be better to let
it overcome me
