Marianas

Down below Oh so cold Carrying the mass of tides Pressure building in my eyes So dark As the beaten heart Turned to eternal night Apeirogon far underneath the sun I am just another squid Who didn’t realize what it did “...Amorphousness...shapelessness Antithesis of catharsis Down in the blackest depths (Black as my heart they are) Where I am deprived of light’s caress Feelings like osmium metal chains Weighing my struggling body Metaphors of my mind’s own gore Force-fed into the nadir of (the) depression” Water’s weight only drains Drowning in the deepest pain.
