Darkness, that is all that I see,
Here in the depths of the water,
Where fish should swim through my hair,
I only hear my heart begin to falter.

Lost...I swam too far and too deep,
Now I can see no way out,
Foolish arrogance brought me here,
I was too confident, I had no doubt.

Ah but the joyous wonder of it,
I thought it would be worse than this,
I imagined me kicking and struggling,
But instead I drift through the abyss.

My mind is swimming with new faces,
My body swims and dives like a fish,
I am at one with the vast dark ocean,
Now I am free from the suffering flesh.

But alas in the distance, a weak light,
Could it be a craft for my salvation?
Perhaps it is the sign of paradise calling,
Both options are better than damnation.
