I gasp for one more living breath
I'm alone no one can save me from the wave
It hits me like a car faster than death
I know I cant fight it, I must be brave
Fear sets into my unwanted chubby stomach
As water fills my swimmers lungs
I try to swim but my head begins to ache
My scream is like a last battle cry being sung
I feel my body hit the hard concrete land
All I am able to do to stay alive is twist and shout
I try to grab the ground about all i clutch is sand
Why wont this silly towering wave let me out
But At last I am finally about to be free
Why didn't this tumbling ocean just let me be.
This reminded me of our intense water polo practices that we had together. I like the line were you said I know I cant fight it I have to be brave.
ReplyDeleteWow, a very good depiction on how the ocean can be very dangerous and scary sometimes! I can pratically feel the fear you were felling at the time through the poem!
