Deeper

Submitting to a negative thought, that feels too warm to let go.
Picture of Kayo Odusote

Kayo Odusote

My ball of blue gives off a purple hue

When mixed with the red that leaked from my forehead

A red that bleeds an answer darker than me

An answer that has me against my deepest beliefs

A color whose shade left me newly made

Giving me sense whenever I talked in past tense

looking at it gave my eyes a new tint

While holding it tight burnt my hands with it’s light

But while my palms were torn it kept my mind fairly warm

As i continued to listen deeply into my ocean

Closer i held my ball the deeper I continued to fall 

Into a sea of thoughts that fed my mind a lot

The more and more i continued to pour

This ocean of tears clogs my ears

Nothing is better to me when what I have lets me be

But as bright as it seems only darkness it brings 

I knew id have to pretend when asked if i’m okay with this end

falling deeper in thought forgetting all i had taught

But what’s the point of swimming up when the water floods all to much

Filling in and over me forcing to let go and fall freely into the deep
