It was vast, almost like space
But I've never been to space
Nor have I seen it in its glory
It was a large body of water
And it was clear
It was transparent
But I couldn't see the bottom

And when I jumped in
I feared for my life
More in that moment

But it went so far down
And so deep underneath
The water distorted everything
Transparent vessels of life
The current pushed and pulled

The water overpowered everything within
The animals, the sea life, everything
Nothing survived its grasp
And if you somehow managed to
You'd do anything to kill yourself
To escape the pain of survival

A million thoughts shot into my mind
And in the moment I saw the truth
We are feeble and small
