Sinking
Lost at sea.
The water is my own.
Drowning in my emotions,
I gasp for a breath of air,
Swallowing dreams,
Juggling time.
Dark vibrations ripple toward me.
Confidence drifts away,
Doubt invades my mind. .
My thoughts grow shallow.
The water remains deep.
I’m overwhelmed.
Waves of hope rise.
Then crash.
Fortune evaporates
Love is denied fruition.
And so I sink.
The water claims its prize.
