Underwater

Story

1 Dive into the deep blue sea,

2 lose your body in the deepness,

3 oh, how your vulnerability will always be your weakness.


4 It’ll tear your heart apart,

5 into innumerable wretched pieces,

6 until you’ll hear nothing but the sirens’ piercing screeches.


7 Until you’ll feel like a lost boat at the bottom of the ocean,

8 submerged, abandoned, and dejected.

9 Can’t you see how you’ll always be rejected?


10 You will become Peisinoe’s bittersweet melody,

11 her song swimming in the subconscious,

12 and you still wish not to be forgotten, how immensely presumptuous.


13 How immensely hurt and scared you are,

14 while floating in the bottomless sea,

15 you know they’ll never care, they’re simply not who they seem.


16 They will only try to push you down,

17 deep under the water,

18 yet you will not be the one who’ll —


19 drown.
