Underneath The Water Poem by Paloma Castaneda

I'm underneath the water
so cold yet my emottions grow hotter
I helplessly sink
losing the ability to think
my surroundings tighten
the losses, they heighten
my soul ripped without thought
meaningless for what I sought
a ripple was all you could see
no one truly know the thoughts of insanity
I sigh with acceptance
and let go of my insistence
the water pulls me with such great
strength
I tried to avoid this at such great
lengths
I struggle with one last gasp
my whole life out of grasp
I'm engulfed in such confusion
was this simply all an illusion?
you see the lake still as the dead
no notice of the tears that were shed
I leave without a word
no one truly ever heard
