Waves

A poem about feeling overwhelmed.

I’m  suffocating beneath  the waves.

How will I survive?

If they find my body,

How will they revive me?

As the water enters my lungs,

As death and pain intertwine.

I’m barely still alive,

As you pull me below,

Farther than I thought I could go.

I know this death is meant to be mine.

I am taken away by a whirlpool,

I am thrashing against the tide.

I‘m inside the whirlpool,

What a wild ride.

Here I go inside this black whole,

Beneath the rapids and waves;

Not knowing where I am,

Not knowing where I‘ll go.

Where am I? 

I don’t know.

Here I am in the ocean, somewhere,

As waves crash against me,

I don’t know who or where I am.

But will you hold that against, my dear? 

My lungs start to burn,

As I’m overwhelmed by the sun.

I ’ve been  taken captive by the waves,

I am a slave of the waves,

The ocean has surely won.

Farewell,

My dear.

I really wish that you were here.

i never thought of the ocean as a black hole, interesting, i suppose that they can appear anywhere. but to be swallowed up by the depths of any situation gives us that literary license to define and describe as we may. well done!

Wow! To need help because of being overwhelmed is one thing; But, to want to take someone down with you is quite a different feeling. Truly a cry out for help...dreams of drowning. I get it! Nicely done, yet viciously sad!
