The Flood

The Flood

A Poem by Elsie

I feel like my life is like a flood that will never stop coming

That there is no way to figure out the end of this flood

For many years my life was like a desert with a long drought

Then finally out of the blue it starts to down pour

Now the storm has started it refuses to end

How can you stop a raging storm that has been held back for years

Pretty soon there won't be a vast land of sand

But a sea of never ending water

I knew that this was coming

Yet I never tried and stop it though

Instead I allow this flood to come

Now that it here it makes me realize that this wasn't for the best

However it was for the worst

So now I am unsure on what to do anymore or not

I watch as the flood comes straight toward me

No point in getting out of the way

When I already know it's going to consume

Everythign in this desert

There is no way you can out run the flood

Yet people say that there is a way for me to stop the flood

For me though I know that there is no escape route for me

Told people that there is no escape route for me

But they do not believe me at all

Now I stand the far West of this desert I am 

Hoping that the floods will come fast

That it will strike furies and without mercy

Yet I do nto know what this flood has in store for me

It's only a matter of seconds before the flood will hit me

I am all ready for what it might bring

Good bye world

Good bye life

life is too beautiful to be missed. sometimes good imagery of imagery of desperation is good to read to remind the struggle in life as a "whip " to move forward and revive :)
