That's one place where, as I snorkel, I can hear the sound of my own breath and nothing else.
As I swim across the surface of the ocean, I know I am far away from the madness of the world.
Yes, I may be an escapist, someone who is running away from the problems of the world
But
In the ocean, I am in solitude.
I am alone. I like that.
I stare down into the darkness.
Who knows how deep the ocean floor may be?
I wish something could come and drag me down to the ocean floor.
I want to fall into the abyss.
I want something in this darkness to end me.
I wish my life were like that too, where I don't have to encounter loud noise from all around me.
I wish I could be alone.
I wish I could live my life the way I want to.
Why can't I be alone?

so true...
very beautifully written. it relates a lot to my post on loneliness that u commented on.
i love sitting by the beach and just thinking about life or wondering and marvelling at life and everything in it. the trick is not to be carried away. we all need moments in solitude to be in touch with ourselves...or we'll cease to recognize ourselves.
so depressing man...hope u get out of your abyss real soon..
