i stand in a twisted sea
my face stings as the waves slap against me
they pull at my limbs, trying to tear me apart
i try to get away, swimming as fast as i can
but the waves pull me further into the storm
the waves seem to grow stronger as my fear increases
i start to loose hope
the waves are going to win
i let them pull at me, willingly let them take me under
the water burns as it goes down my throat, and into my screaming lungs
my brain starts to go into a frenzy
sending signals to my drowning body
suddenly my arms feel as if they are flying
my legs feel a strength they have never felt before
i am going to make it
i am going to win
finally my head breaks through the surface
i take in deep breaths trying to calm the burning sensation in my chest
in the distance i spot an island
i feel a renewed hope
the waves start to die down, as i swim towards the shore
the heat caresses my body as the sand takes my shape
i will never leave this place
for once i feel safe
