Beautiful Lies

Dear Stranger in the Sea,
I stood my ground, I knew the call meant danger. You tempt those without the Lifeguard though, you call them to your shores. you weaved beautiful lies and planted them in their head. You told them they could never be enough, you told them you were the truth. Blinded by fear and depression they followed your call, wading deeper into the waters. Your waves lapped at their feet, creating more fear, and anxiety in their weak heart. Your lies filling their mind, driving them to the edge. You promised them the truth, but they couldn't have been farther. As a last ditch effort they try to find someone else to take the pain and lies away. You told them it would all be over soon... all they had to do was dive.
Bottles emptied, pills downed, triggers pulled, ledges left, and you smiled. You drew them in, and then pushed them over the edge. You've made an enemy now, and I won't let your lies go unnoticed.
