Waves

by TheLife-ofMe

The waves of time knock me back, the salty water of memories make me choke and as a day passes for each moment in this catastrophe; The struggle to breath lasts a lifetime, the crushing wave shoves me deeper in the darkness, what once was sweet has turned to salt and as it fills up my lungs, I can no longer scream out for help but drown in the sorrowful ocean of life. Tangled in the shameful seaweed, they lock me in place, unable to reach that shining surface. It is a struggle to continue, a hard fight that never stops. The darkness that keeps creeping in from the deep, shadowing my whole view as I lose my way around in the vast sea of guilt. The laughter of rays shine through making the heavy water light and clear. I swim for I am free and look toward the surface and once again breath. Floating is freeing, the coolness of words cover me; I am free, I am nowhere, I am everywhere, I am no one, I am everyone, I am me. Gasping for that fresh breath, feeling the hot future shine brightly in sky, the clouds of hope are visible, they shine with the sun and take form into beautiful creatures. The waves still come, for they are eternal, the current of pain drags me farther away, isolating But the need for survival pushes me forward.
