Deep End

By Serieka Green

Deep End is what it feels like to be thrown into something before you're ready.

New feelings, new experiences, and no time to learn how to swim first. These poems live in that moment: feeling everything at full intensity, trying to name what's happening while it's still happening, and figuring it out as you go. Sometimes that means learning to stay afloat. Sometimes it means realizing you need to get out. But right now, this is where you are.

Moving through anger, heartbreak, solitude, and quiet chaos, Deep End doesn't pretend to have the answers. It's written for readers who feel deeply and often silently and who know what it's like to be in over their head and still keep going.

I am only insane if you choose insanity

So don't disturb my solitude.

We can both decide and still end up here.

But this is the last time, I swear.

I will choose the same path.

no matter how dark and treacherous.

The journey was beautiful.

even in all the chaos that came after.

I choose you, which is insane.

The sane mind can detach.

and expect nothing more.

I need sanity to understand.

that choosing me means

not repeating your past actions.
