Neverending Thoughts & Feelings | Poems

Lost

Deeper and deeper I go.
Into the dark, green woods.

I need some alone time.
Too many people make me nervous.

They say nasty things behind my back.
I want to be far away from them.
As far as I possibly can.

There's a sea.
The moon and stars are reflected in its dark blue.
It's a cold forest night.

I take a deep breath.
I know what I should do.

With a run-up, I sprint towards the big sea.

I know it's deep.
I know it's cold.
But I don't care.

With a big jump, I land inside the water.

I want to go away.
And this water will take me away.

I swim down deeper and deeper. Distancing myself from reality more and more.

The light is so close.
It's glowing in a bright turquoise.

I try to reach it with my hand, prepared to get sucked in.

I knew it's the moment my life would truly begin.

"Alright everyone, class is over!", the teacher announced.

Surprised, I take a look around.

"..."

"Oh, I wasn't listening!"
