Tragedy of a Young Life
I loved my family, but I wanted to be on my own.
I was so sure that I could easily live without them.
So, one day, I decided to venture out alone,
Little did I know that my life would be condemned.
It felt almost like a dream and none of it seemed real,
Out on the ice alone, with no one else around.
Without the others near, it was death for a baby seal.
As the weight of the polar bear pinned me to the ground.
