To See The Sun Again

She wondered, entering the sea, in fierce relentless rain, As the waves crashed hard against the rocks, would she see the sun again? Her life was dark now,like the sky that loomed a murky grey, Her body breathing in the air, as her legs, start to give way. Her head’s a torrid mass of thoughts, her heartbeat racing fast, With terror running through her veins, as she relives her past. She wades now, deep into the sea, numb and unperturbed, The voice inside screams “help me”, but not a sound is heard. Her body shaking violently, her eyes, a blurry glass In measured breaths, she speaks aloud, The words….”this too, shall pass”. The world seems very different now, the pull so very strong, A song is entering her mind, “I did it my way”, plays along. If only she’d embraced her life and had the aptitude to think, Instead of being ruled by fear and turning to the drink. So many poignant moments missed and memories were lost, Affirming self-destruction at such a heavy cost. Now, immersed in thrashing waves and violent cracks of thunder, She takes one last look at the sky as the water pulls her under. She can't accept the things, she cannot change, the grief and shame so raw And, the courage to change the things she can, had always been her flaw. The darkness, now engulfs her and her body becomes light, She can see all those that died too soon, each one had lost their fight. And as she takes, her final breath, the last thought to remain, Is…. now the clouds have disappeared and I will see the Sun again.
