Going Going Gone

Would you imagine yourself
Standing on the beach
On sand that's been heating under the afternoon sky
So much so to keep it burning right into the night
All you hear is the sound of the ocean
The waves crashing upon the shore
A mechanical murmur
Like that of an ailing heart
The coarse tune of a dying engine
So manipulative that it takes only a while
For your heart to start imitating it's beat

I stand here
On a lonely shore
And to look up and see infinity
Dark and beyond
No sign of a land beyond the darkness
Depressing and how so
For I could walk into it
And be gone forever
Be washed onto some other strange land
Not as me
But only of flesh
And water

I am not suicidal
These are barely just my moments of regrets
That I stand here for nothing
To think of things so surreal
You need to be harbouring a storm in your soul
So I agree
For I do

But have I not
Always been this way
Running away from calmness
Right into the arms of oceans of chaos
I could sit still
Waiting for the rays to hit my face
But instead I choose
To chase the darkness

I am not angry 
For I have no rights
Its nobody's fault
Or is it
There are just so many trying to do right
But is it my fault that the bad is so bad
That it decays my soul
Inside out

I know nobody reads this shit
And so I want to say
I am not depressed 
But I am definitely not okay
For to feel anger fear love
Is a blessing
And here I am
So chaotically poetic is your presence
That I can feel
Nothing else at all...
