Tainted Nature

As I look out to the lake I realize what I have done. I have taken my own life along with others. By others I mean I took my pride and others have come along with that.

The lake is so peaceful, very morbid. Life is a lot like a lake. At times, the lake can be wild and very bumpy like when being skied on or being occupied by boats. Then, at night when there is nobody on they’re besides maybe the teenagers hanging out in the water at night skinny-dipping. Other than that, the lake can be very placid and quiet.

The lake is also a lot like me. It can give and take lives. Water can help some plants grow and to provide a fun lifestyle for people of all ages, but it can also be a conductor for drowning victims.

The lake sits here quiet, bluish-green and flowing towards one side. It lays so smooth that it looks as if you could skip a rock on it for days.

The fish swim in the beautiful water day and night providing fishermen with something to do. It’s just another version of the water helping take a life or give life.

The fish are born in this water and provide for different life cycles in the depths of this blue body. On the other, hand it is a fishermen’s play ground. Sometimes a fisherman will throw it back, but many take it and eat it including myself. That would be thrown into the category of ending a life.

The night sky lies over the water and as I look into the endless lake I see beauty and life. The orange and blue sky seem to just go as long and the two bodies seem to connect to make this amazing ore that really makes one think about life and happiness throughout this crazy world.

Around the lake there seems to be green life in itself. In the murkier parts of the lake by the brim their lies cat tails and algae filled leaves. The frogs fling their sticky tongues towards the sky catching the lightning bugs. It looks as if the frogs are turning off a light in the sky or stealing a shooting star when they do this. Willow trees and long lawns off the lake houses sit freshly cut and taken care of well.

All the fresh smells of nature make me realize that life is important and everything is beautiful in its own right. So, whatever I have down and why I executed is coming back to sit in my stomach like a 30 pound hot rock and make me sick to it.
