Lost At SeaA Poem by Elijah Washington
Trapped in a complex sea of confusion,
I bundle up, holding myself in fear. Rapid waves crash below me, wind strikes me from all directions. Lost in a path of unhappiness, I sit and wait, hoping, begging, praying for it all to be over. The darkness of the gray storm covers the skies, It drenches me in droplets of turmoil and depression. I cry out for help, for everything to be okay again, but nobody can here me. I am all alone, deserted. With nothing to do, with no one to turn to. I close my eyes in an attempt to envision something else, anything else. A picture of a better life for me flashes before my eyes. One without so many treacherous storms to withhold, so dangerous and harsh to have to survive, I wish it could be that way. I open my eyes blocked off from my thoughts as the pace of the rain falling against my body begins to slow, the sun fighting through the darkness. I surpassed the storm to now relax in peace, until that cycle of my life returns.
