My feet feel frozen on the slippery deck,

I am too small to defend my ship.

Crashing over neighboring tidal waves, luring me in,

I am forced to sail through the storm. 

The unmellowed sky watches the battle,

And the water has taken my crew. I am alone

coaxed into the sea’s submission. 

I am not strong enough to defend my vessel, so I lie limp.

The trepidation is suffocating, 

closer and closer, my destiny approaches.

My control taken from me, a captain,

As the sea guides the sturdiness of my bow towards the rigid rocks. 

The water’s hands pin down my vulnerability 

and I cannot steer myself to serenity.

I scream for help

Hoping the heavens might hear my confession,

But the isolated storm continues.

Stripping away my security, the thunder caresses the sacred parts of me,

And the end crash is painted in my eyesight.

How I crave the end, 

just so the pain and discomfort will stop.
