Washed Up

It feels like there's no escaping 
the blindingness of the darkness of fear. 
So deep and dark are these waters 
that the sun cannot shine down here. 

My face is straight, 
I feel deep emotions as I speak 
and imagine the tears of sadness 
are rolling down my cheek. 

Sadness cleans my mind 
it clears my clouded head 
as I swim in emotions 
through the watershed. 

Through turbulent murky waters 
full of stress and distortion, 
onto a never ending shoreline 
with all its complications. 

Persistent waves keep rolling into shore 
but there's undercurrents of doubt, 
because although the waves keep crashing in 
the tide is moving out. 

So here I am like a voyager 
like a crustacean in another land. 
A lost stranger stranded, 
washed up on the sand.
