Murky are the waters we tread
While below slink denizens of the abyss
Waiting to swallow whole our very essence
Engulf our aspirations
Drag us deeper
And deeper
Into the depths of darkness
To drown us
In the hopelessness of fate

lost in thought, found in words.
wanderer

Good ride into despair, wandering.

But fight it with your instinct for self-preservation. Known in other circles as the "killer" instinct. Honor thyself, and kill the demons.
A good read. I really like its brevity and imagery.

The water is murkier than you can imagine,from the surface you see only a mirrored image.It's much worse underneath. I loved your poem,it's short ut in those few words you seem to say alot. bravo
