Icy stabs pierce every pore of my skin
The water
So cold
So alone
Oxygen is released, gulping for air, for life
Only to be replaced by the promise of death
The water
Ending life
Healing pain
Sinking deeper, releasing ties to the world
Getting so dark, feeling so free, entering my world of insanity
The water
A life so real
The life that was mine

"Sinking deeper, releasing ties to the world
Getting so dark, feeling so free, entering my world of insanity". Well done, great imagery and I knew exactly which one you chose before I looked at the option number. The lines above are the ones which drew me in the most and gave your poem life and meaning. Thank you so much for entering.

Wow! I really was taken in by your poem and you pulled me down into the depths. I felt the release...the surrender. Great job. Blessings, Doris
