Navigate the Sea

Such is the nature
Of the depressed,
An overpowering tendency
To attack those who love.
A siren in the ocean
Calling out in loneliness.

Dragged into a
Whirlpool full of lies
And broken promises.
No air from obligation.
No break in the water.
The cause is in control.

Learn to swim quickly,
Pull yourself out of
The torrents, for the
Ocean is vast and an
Island may just be

Waiting on the other side.

The Beggar

You’re a picky eater
Who starved for weeks
Yet still rejected the
Food placed in front of you
