The ocean calls to us often
when life itself will not soften
those depths could envelope our pain
as we settle in their domain
submerged

What better way to keep at bay
the many thoughts that can break you
all those demons that haunt the day
when you’re trying to just get through
the mind submerged in work is strong

Reality can be held down
with fluffy handcuffs and sex toys
or a host of other such joys
when all else just deepens your frown
become submerged in pleasures song

When everything else feels so wrong
be submerged or you won’t last long.
