In the Sand

And as much as I tried to argue against my shortcomings-

The rumors spread. 

And so did the sense of doom within. 

I became infamous. 

For my limitations. 

It is like trying to capture a wave in the ocean-

By stepping carefully into the water. 

While everyone is riding into the horizon. 

I am busy writing in the sand.
