Scared Of The Deep

Ryan Uridel 1986 (USA)



Scared of being lost
Scared of being alone
Scared of being forgotten
Trying to swim
As far as your body will float
Realizing your only in a moat
Swimming in circles
Which way do you go
How hard will you fight
To show what is right
For the love you hold
Until you no longer can grow old
To the deepest depths
The farthest reaches
You are the Tender
To my umbilical
My support to my lifeline
The love to no end

About this poem

As commercial diver away from my wife, scared of the challenges this life throws at us.
