i glance about with wondering eyes  
saddened and shaken  
i raise my gaze up to the skies  
seeking beyond the clouds what lies  
 
i ponder my worth  
to nobody there  
from the moment of birth  
did anyone really care  
 
my gaze drifts to the sand  
the cold sea nipping my feet  
the shifting of the land  
the depth there to greet  
 
was this the way it was meant to be  
lonely and alone in the sunset  
welcoming the coldness of the sea  
as it rises to envelope me  
 
i think of the silent masses  
that never gave a second thought  
i watch as the time passes  
my last breath in my throat was caught  
 
eyes closing to the darkness below  
the wetness of the sea rising  
for it is my time to go  
with no one realizing  
 
myself i grant one last look  
and then the waves cover  
the sand below shook  
and finally, it was over
