at te bottom of the deepest sea

when youre beneath the botomless sea,

you need not fear the storm at the top

for lower the tempest is tranquilled of sorrow

but at the top the sailor is being tossed,

by the strong current of the waves,

that he never sees peace anymore
 

lower here, though is indepth to woes,

and tragedy inflicted by the blackest demon

to turn things on their distorted heads

but the peace i feel ,though the sedation of sorrow

is more assuring to stare peril in the eye

and smile,for you're sitting far lower than it,

having seen the worst of this world
