Drowning in sorrow

The water keeps coming
On and on it goes
A tidal wave of fear
And only moisture shows

The ocean surrounds me
The aftermath is death
And by the time someone finds me
I'll have taken my last breath

But what am I leaving
Some shatters of a life
Nobody will miss me
I just had toils and strife

What do they care
As they try to "get by"
I know the falsity
Of those tears that they cry

They helped do it
They caused my death
They knew if they spoke
I'd enter final rest

If their eyes flashed worry
Instead of anger here
Then perhaps I wouldn't
Give in to my greatest fear

The fear of death and drowning
The fear of going on
To die would just be easier
Than trying to avoid wrongs

And what did I have to live for
Family, friends, kin
No, it's so much easier
To take that final swim
