Losing My Grip

Inner strength

By Amanda McCarthyPublished 4 years ago 1 min read

Clouds are grew, rain has begun to fall.

Thunder is brewing, the lightening will enthrall.

I’m holding on tight to this raft where I lay.

The waves that are forming will carry me away.

Trying to survive the wrath of Poseidon,

He dwells inside me, I can feel his trident.

I’m losing my grip, screaming for help.

Nobody is here, just me and myself.

The icy water is piercing my skin.

Why wont a ship just let me in?

They see me struggle to survive,

Yet nobody helps to save my life.

Abandoned and alone, flowing with the current,

The ocean surrounds me, this storm is my burden.
