Well guys, I finally wrote something that I will post to the blog. Two things in fact, but the second must wait. The link to the work is here but I will also share it in the blog post for those of you that would prefer to read it on here. I hope that whoever reads enjoys it and if you have any constructive criticism then I would value it being shared. Either in the comments section on Wattpad or as a comment on here. Many thanks.
Hugh.

Here is the poem itself.
I wish that I could sleep
And dream of horrors in the deep
Of blackened nights, haunted seas
Fading lights and crying pleas
Though sad, strange this may be.
I wish to be drowned silently,
My cries cut out by liquid air
At least then I would be bare
and burden less without fear
Those lies I tell myself so dear
That hold the pieces close as one
With quiet crack shall come undone
And that watery grave will be mine
Not troubled then I shall be fine
Painless, without this curse identity
With no feeling, I will be free
Good poem, Hugh, I like it. Well done on controlling the rhythm of the piece throughout. Beautiful and haunting imagery.
Thank you for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it.
