Stormy Seas

I wish I knew how to swim


But I can't


The waves rise so fast


Like the hate and fury of man




Choked, suffocating, no air


My mind races in panic


What is there to hold onto


Is there anything stable




In this sea of doubt


I struggle with the facts


The truth seems like a myth

I find myself sick from the sea


Regurgitating what is expected of me


Unable to hold down any real peace


Afloat in Pandora's box


Shut up inside with all that had once escaped



They always say after the storm it will be...


It will be what ?


Will it be what should be?



I slowly sink and struggle to stay afloat


Just waiting and waiting


Hoping for a tsunami to push me far ashore
