No wife, no mother,no father or daughter
My thoughts are my closest companion
And as we look out into this open horizon
It's hard at times not to feel stranded
The waters of life are deep and despairing
And there seems to be no end to the vastness
Sharks roam its infinite reach
Waiting to devour what falls into its clutches
I know no longer If I have the stamina left to flee
or the strength to stand and fight
One sunken ship, and ill be left to be drowning
Left for dead
Left as testament to those who could not reach the shore
At the mercy of these waters, there is no guarantee
No promise of safety or security
Only a power above knows If I will make it to dry land
Or fall victim to the sea

Lost In The Waters of Life

Topic: selfstruggles

Here I am in these open waters
No wife, no mother,no father or daughter
My thoughts are my closest companion
And as we look out into this open horizon
It's hard at times not to feel stranded
The waters of life are deep and despairing
And there seems to be no end to the vastness
Sharks roam its infinite reach
Waiting to devour what falls into its clutches
I know no longer If I have the stamina left to flee
or the strength to stand and fight
One sunken ship, and ill be left to be drowning
Left for dead
Left as testament to those who could not reach the shore
At the mercy of these waters, there is no guarantee
No promise of safety or security
Only a power above knows If I will make it to dry land
Or fall victim to the sea

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
