The waves of life
Are crashing on me.
With each toss and turn I find myself in, I’m struggling:
It’s getting harder to breathe.
I search for a life vest,
A glimmer of hope,
Anything that can save me from this treacherous storm
Or help me cope.
I feel like I’m drowning.
I want to be found,
But every time I break surface, take a breath of air,
Another wave knocks me back down.
I was fighting at first,
But now I’m in open waters, flailing.
Juggling too many things at once— in every area of my life
I feel like I’m failing.
The waves are my thoughts,
And I am just me
Trying so desperately to find even ground, to find peace,
In this stormy sea.
Though I’m drowning for now
I hope for some calm.
If not today then hopefully tomorrow. I pray it finds me soon,
while I’m trudging along.
Ded. The way life seems to kick you when you’re already down
