Steeped in furious misery
I sat on the beach gazing out at the sea
Empty except for the last few stragglers
Trying to desperately cling onto the remnants of a dying day
The sparkling sun reflecting against a cerulean blue sea
Every foamy hiss and swirl of wave
Reflected my inner turmoil

Brooding, angry and heartbroken with the world
Wishing our toxic relationship was healthier
Sick to death of the world and my life
Wishing that one of us would be set free
But helpless to change anything

Suddenly I shot up
Gripped by a feeling of unknown urgency
And started running towards the sea
Every thudding step echoed a feeling of excitement
As I was drawn straight towards the swirling watery mass
Adrenaline galloped through my veins
And I ran closer to the sudden incline straight into sea

Instinct guiding me I pushed myself off the ground
And arched myself though the air perfectly
Hitting the water in a dive with a bliss-filled cry
Until I was one beneath the waves
One with the sea

I opened my eyes and all around me
The waves tumbled and roared in the murky water
Spitting up sand and shells
And this wildness excited me
Making me wish I could stay there forever
My lungs however struggled for air

With a kick I propelled myself to the surface breaking up through the waves
And as I breached the top I sucked in my breath
Greedily gasping the air
The icy, salty-wetness of the sea
Combined headily with the sun and my adrenaline
Was the most potent brew

Happiness tumbled through me
And for that moment every bad thought was pushed away
And I laughed loudly with joy
Because in that moment I was truly free
