Shipwreck

I am contaminated,
As is the sea,
My mind is a ship,
Sunken to the deepest parts 
Of my thoughts,
It was a wreckage
That no one has discovered.

Plunging into an ocean of grief,
My lungs swallow the water.
Trying to breathe it in,
I can taste the plastic,
Not the salt.
My thoughts are the pollution
No one tries to clean

I am lost.
I am a shipwreck.

Faraz Ajmal Date: 4/7/2018 1:21:00 PM A nice written poem with a really nice message,you see we should learn how to be happy while been alone because no one is going to stay with us forever, and we have to go alone in our graves, that s the reality of this world, this life is a test and God test us, sometime by giving us happiness sometime by sadness but we have to remain loyal and hopeful coz our time shall also come, there s no light without dark, so every sad moment shall end and our time also come, just wait for it
