Call me crazy

But I went forward

Into the abyss

Where no merman would ever

go.

As you can expect

Evil lies in the dark seas

But for me

It lies comfort.

Past the darkness

That keeps people out

Was a sunken wooden mansion

Half deep into the sand

With a seaweed garden

That was plastered with faces

Of victims.

At first I believed the stories

Father told me.

I mean

Who wouldnt?

They were all true.

And yet,

They still couldn't keep me away

From The Sea Witch’s daughter.
