Stormy weather

Being bombarded every time I feel I can stand

Knocked down by waves I thought had broke

Lacking any air as the water surrounds me

As every fear I have is invoked

The sun is visible but hiding above the water

Reaching, stroking trying to break free

Darkness taking hold of my surroundings

The positive getting harder to see

A person can lose themselves in this riptide

As lies become truths and truths are lies

The fight becomes exhausting

Almost impossible to decipher the cries

People surround the water’s edge

Watching as another person comes undone

They taunt and laugh and think it’s a game

Maybe for them but me? This is no fun.

How will I emerge I do not know

I search for ways out to live future todays

I am battered and beaten down I am out of breath

I question whether I will ever be okay

I can feel what you are trying to convey through this poem....Life's storms are much tougher to conquer than the storms of nature....Those situations in our life makes us feel like a looser, like we don't have the power to get up....You talked about the hardships of life in this one and the position of an individual in that situation....I really loved the use of natural elements here.....I find inspiration from your poems and this is another one.....Full rating Rachael my frnd....

Thank you so much. I like to try to pull nature into my poems when I feel like I am able to, I have always felt close to nature and find true peace with nature, I see nature has many poetic ways of inspiring people or at least me. Thank you so much for the review.

I completely agree with you....Nature is the most inspirational part of our life, since the age of early humans to the modern age of robotics everything happened in connection or inspired by nature, wheather it is direct or indirect....Im a big fan of your writings sister.....

A person can lose themselves in this riptide, so true. Fighting against the tide, using all your strength, for at best staying where you are and constantly battling waves, I know this feeling well.
We can only keep kicking and hope the sun breaks through soon. When it does, it will make everything you have fought for and against, seem like a hazy dream. Hope you get there soon.

Thank you so much for your observant and kind review. Its almost like the worst torture there is... Like your lungs are filled with water that you have to keep coughing out in order to pull air in and continue to survive.
