Confusion by Lauren Wheeler
I'm tossing in a tempest of turmoil
the waves crashing over me, pulling me down.
I forget to swim when I once knew how
and a dreadful fear fills my heart.
Something screams within me,
"This just isn't right!"
My body yearns to sprawl out on the sandy beach
where it's warm and calm, safe from Poseidon’s grasp.
But just as I catch a glimpse of that shore
the gloomy deep grabs me, swirling violently.
As I gulp in air it slams me again and again.
Never stopping, never pausing,
Holding me down forever
