No Gold in the Shallow

When there is no depth,

The light shrinks further into the darkness

And the discomfort rises

To where the sunken feeling

Becomes hard to ignore

There is no gold in the shallow,

You attempt to tear apart the monster,

But the monster is a layer of you,

That has been left behind

You can say fear is the culprit,

It's easier to swim in shallow seas,

Than it is to swim in deeper waters
