The Lake

  

I swim in my lake
All alone
No one near
No one far
My lake surrounds me
It tears my life asunder
It gives no hope
Nor happiness
It breeds dispair
It foments hate
Not hate of others
But of oneself
I swim in my lake
So large and round
No shores to swim to
No islands to cling
I swim in my lake
The only constant in my life
My lake
