My Poetic Escape

The Sea's A Scary Place

The sea's a scary place

The water's embrace

Doesn't leave much breathing space

But I'll keep a straight face

 The water is freezing

But it's becoming pleasing

And my hearts is finally easing

Along with my brain appeasing

The deeper you roam

The less it feels like a dome

The more it feels like home

And the deep end shows you the chrome

You make friends with the sand

As you let is slip through your hand

 Your heart expands

And you begin to understand

Even if the fish watch you militarily

And the sharks wait warily

I jumped voluntarily 

And this isn't temporarily 

So you can jump in with me 

Or support me from the beach's palm tree

Or you can disagree

And I'll say fuck you and be free

Thanks for the inspiration Katie. Means a lot.
