To The Sea

-To The Sea-
by
Keaton Foster



To the sea
That is where I’ll be
I’ve been there before
At the shore
Just this once more
Out into the deep
Foolishly I will swim
Way beyond my head
Far past any return
Towards an endless horizon
That I won’t no part of
Once I reach exhaustion
Self-preservation will kick in
And I will halfheartedly
Attempt to turn back
Knowing all too well
That I will not make it
Somewhere between my choices
And a decision not to further act
I will sink like a heavy stone
Down into forever’s depth
Down into the nothingness
Of every impossible dream
I know that there are many
Terrifying creatures down there
And that I will be just one more
No one will ever find me
Not only because no one
Would ever consider looking
But because the depths
To which I am prepared to go
Will make such a thing pointless
I have made many bad choices
But this is certainly not one
To the sea
That is where I’ll be
That is where I will remain
Forever free from all that I’ve done
In the depths of nothing
I will always be kept…
