with the rarely seen
bottom feeders
beneath the sea icy dark
The weight
of self induced depression
was slowly crushing me
So I took a chance
and rocket fueled my frustrations
to rise from the depths
of a drawn out death
I launched myself
toward the warmth
of the solar induced lights
the temperate waters offered
Reached the surface finally
Found myself swimming with the sharks
Who poked at my joy curiously
before devouring me
in a feeding frenzy
If I had stayed below
and embraced contentment
in the security of anonymity
I would have never been
a carnivore's dinner
but would have missed out
feeling the exhilaration
of life
before a meaningful death
