Esca

The anglerfish

Resides in the murky depths of the ocean

Far deeper than any human can go on their own

Far deeper than the Sun can even reach

Yet the angelrfish doesn’t simply survive,

It flourishes.

So the next time the world seems dark

And you feel like you’re drowing,

Unable to see a way out

Or a way forward,

Just remember

That sometimes we have to adapt

And evolve

And realize

That we can’t always wait for someone to guide us out

So we’ll have to be

Our own light
