(TW: suicide)

A vast world –

Stretching before and below.

Unfathomable expanse

waiting in inky darkness

to welcome me.

Fear holds me fast.

Fear pushes me forward.

I adjust the bulk

surrounding my body –

the heft that will carry me

to my final fall.

Waves and rocking work in tandem

with my heartbeat –

here faster,

slower now.

I am already one with the sea.

Splash.

The frigid blanket embraces me.

Home.

At last
