All the seaweeds flow throughout the surface.
All the ships are bound to the Unknown.
I hope Sol will gladly await me – in her hidden temperate realms.
The leeches suckle the skin – they manifest like condensation.
The stasis I’ve gotten myself in – is all the things
They’ve revered and desired.
You ask why I carry the weight of the World –
On my two leveled shoulders.
But in reality the thing is,
Every wave rolls off of me.
I’m a shipwreck lying at the seabed,
And every mossy barrel carries a part of who I am.
And they’ve commenced grueling searching,
But you’ll never find the treasure chest, buried deep within.
They thought me a sort of enigma,
And they wanted to piece the puzzle of my wit.
But the Soul no Sailor has seen,
Is the jewels, and pearls, and SKIN.
I am the living display of glory,
And I am not a knot to be undone.
And I arise from the endless waters,
As the TOTAL OCEAN INCARNATION!

- Comment from author about the poem: This may sound like a kinda egotistic piece, but there's nothing better than fully embracing your own worth. This is about facing life's problem with a determined mindset, and to never let anyone belittle you. Also this is a shout-out to all the ones who feel like an "outcast" or a "weirdo" who doesn't fit into society. Know that you are a valuable soul, with many internal treasures, so even if no-one understands it or perceives it, let your light shine! šāØ

This is good! I especially liked "I am the living display of glory,
And I am not a knot to be undone."
Very powerful!
Thank you so very much dear poet! It's nice to see your appreciation of my work as I truly strive to resonate with others and leave a positive impact onto the reader. I hope you left feeling refreshed and invigorated. Have a wonderful day! š
Good one Rocky,they manifest like condensation,wow.poet on.
Yes. Those leeches and the marine life are all nurtured by the "total ocean incarnation." Honestly when I was thinking of a simile to emphasize just how many "leeches" were being "suckled," I was initially going to say "like raindrops." But then I was like, what's more prolific than literal condensation. Like I could just imagine a water bottle being consumed by the water droplets when I wrote that line. All in all, I'm really delighted to see you enjoyed this poem. Have a lovely day! š
We are all of the sea till she takes us back. What we do in-between is for us to decide and destiny at the end.
A perfect notion for the theme of the poem! We're all the deciders of our fates so it's truly up to us to decide how much of our value we will welcome and express to the world. Thanks so much for your generosity and for "faving" the poem. It really means a lot. Have a jolly day! āØ
liked the lines
Iām a shipwreck lying at the seabed,
And every mossy barrel carries a part of who I am.
I think we all sometimes feel we are at the bottom of the sea looking up to the top of the ocean where everyone else is
Honestly! You perfectly described the sensation I was going for. It can feel really daunting at certain times in life and it can feel like there's almost no support around to deal with the difficult situations. But if we learn confront each challenge in life with a headstrong mind, than we can achieve what we thought was the unachievable. Thank you so much for your kind words, it's much appreciated. Have a beautiful day! š
Erm, I was just writing a poem about our 'little life' (not posted yet). Not that we are door-mats to be trampled over by everyone; nor lamp-posts to be treated as 'things' that just stand there unfeeling, immovable, etc.
Ohh, I dunno about being the living display of glory. To me, it would seem like I need a large slice of humble pie, if I say that!
Wow, it seems like our muses were connected! hehe. I actually like that idea of describing ourselves like objects to prove that we SHOULDN'T be treated like objects. It's pretty clever. Thanks a bunch for the comment and I totally agree with you in being humble. I feel we shouldn't be overly prideful of ourselves, but at the end of the day, the #1 priority is You. So I just wanted to uplift the reader with hyperboles like "a living display of glory," but the message remains true. Either way, have a lovely day! āØ
This is another great poem! My favorite line is "Is the jewels and pearls and skin!" You are a jewel in your own right and you make powerful statements here. Great job!!
Thanks abundantly for the support Christina! You're really uplifting and your comments are deeply appreciated. We're all jewels and pearls inside! Have a lovely day!
Good words Rocky, may that incarnation take you to the wonder of your life.

Yes, indeed. We all have the power to own our own worth and to spread that encouragement wherever we go. Thanks for the comment and have a great day!
the term epic springs to mind .. I kinda feel rejuvenated having visited and pondered ... well penned my friend .. Neville
Yes! That's literally my goal, to have the reader feel powerful and revitalized after reading my poems. It's so delightful to see you felt that. Have a blessed day!
