A child that once was me

An edited version of an amazing friends poem. All credits to Shannon Ford, and i hope you dont mind the edit. You were the only person I met who could connect with me in these terms.

In my mind i see a beach, with miles of golden sand

I see a group of child there, all standing hand in hand

The children smile and wave at me, and call me to their side

My body moves towards their calls, as my mind screams out inside

 

Now that i have joined them, we walk towards the sea

I watch with clouded eyes, helpless shouts inside of me

The waves crash before me, and i know that we shall meet

One small step closer, and the water engulfs my feet

 

Soon the waters to my knees, and I’m being pulled in deeper

Knowing my last minutes ticking, i walk towards my reaper

With one last huge breath, i try suck in all my fears

I plunge my head under, for the water to hide my tears

 

I try come up for breath, but I’m getting pulled down and down

I try to scream and shout; in vein i try force out a sound

As my world turns all foggy, I’m being welcomed amongst the dead

I watch myself drift from the pain, and have one thought left in my head

 

Release is my redemption, my final and best emotion

I free myself from depression, in my final motion

With the pain left far behind me, being swallowed by the sea

Where no one will remember, a child that once was me
