I Am the Sea

I dont sleep, i hate losing control,
I dont weep, i hate to be exposed,
I am a book, see my cover and judge,
And you shall never see me open up,
I pass my days fleeting time like waves,
Calm on surface, rumbling in depths,
I hate the sun, it exposes my salt,
I hate to be cold, it makes me halt,
But it's not my choice to be this way,
It's weather deciding how I shall stay,
The ones who see just water on me,
Aint got right eyes by which to see,
My surface dont say what I am bout,
Like the land, everything on ground,
The monsters mine reside deep in me,
Am not mundane, but anomaly,
The land has been terrorised by space,
But nothing can destroy my peace,
I have been here, alone and dark,
And I shall be here, the message is stark,
So if you see and go from far,
I won't care much, I dont get scars,
Sagar for sea shall I announce,
Everything'll be dead if one day I pounce

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style.
