Spec


Loast at sea,

thats what I am.

A little spec surrounded by swirling water,

barely staying afloat

in this storm.

I call out 

and there is no answer

as sharks circle about my capsizing raft.

I caould swim for land

but would not last long

as wave after wave crashes down

threatening to break me.

 

I'm just a spec

in an ocean trying to survive

the torment

the lonliness

trying to stay alive.

RAWR! My life revolves around music, especially rock/post metal core. Songs are poetry with a melody, which can save us from this cruel world we live in. Honestly, I've lost a lot of hope, and am working to recreate it through poetry. I wish for others to see the impact they have on others. Please leave comments, I'd love to hear your opinions. :) "So I can take this pen, and teach you how to live. What is left unsaid, the greatest gift I give."-"Saviour" by BVB
