Scream and Ocean Depths

Scream

Every little thing I see and hear

It all comes together

Mingling

It grows before I can see clearly

Before I can organize and express

So it stays

And piles up over time

These words are simple

Witen out

It gives me time

Time the world doesn't offer

These words are my chance to scream

Ocean Depths

Shallow waters give way to a sudden drop

In the distance

People shout and laugh

You know the water will hold you

But what lurks below its surface

The others seem fine as they play

But the risk isn't something you can manage

Too many possibilities washing around your feet

Your ankles

The sands of doubt pile to your knees

Even if you wanted

It's feels impossible now

Down the shore you see many like you

Then something odd

Someone digs with their hands

They break free and dive straight in

The dark waters don't seem to bother them

Before long they are with the others

You look down at the sand

Then back out to sea

“It'll be fine” you tell yourself
