Sea

Saltly air

A calm overhead

And filling you completely

You went here for a reason

But you’ve decided to wait

To not let the sea have you

Not on a beautiful night like this

You see an empty can

And reach over to pick it up

Humans, the foul creatures

Who filth the world with their greed

You wish that you weren’t as such

You wish you could become salt in the air

Turning around, you see a flash of light

You hear someone call your name

But you ignore it

Striding over to the shore

Closer and closer

To the thick, salty waves

This world is dying

Everyone knows it,

But no one is going to do anything

Even if one does try, no one can overpower the human greed

The shouting becomes louder

You hear multiple voices this time

Each accompanied by a bright,

Bright light

Closer and closer

To the waves, the smothering waves

You know you are greedy

You know you are needy

Jealousy, Hatred, Depression

It all was in you, you were made of it

You wanted this pain to be over

To actually do something

Good, helpful for once

The world deserves much better

Closer and closer

Knee high with the thick waves

You continue your descent

Walking quicker, as you can

When you hear a scream

They’ve found you

No, you think, no

I shall not return to

Harm the world any longer

I shall surrender to the sea

You splutter as cold water fills your lungs

Thick, salty waves

You can’t hear anything now

It’s silent

**Muted**

** Quiet **

You know soon…

**You will be part of the salt. You will be the salt.**
