Walkin around confused
lost in this sea of chaos
this sea some call life
The certainty leaves like
waves receeding on the beach
Washing away all your plans
Everything you had set in life
The things you had worked for
Strived for each and every day
Lost in this turbulent ocean

I search for the familiar things
something to grasp to but
each new wave distorts it more
I don't understand what can I do?
I try to move but I am sinking
Sinking into the sand as waves leave
They leave me stuck surrounded
surrounded only by the unknowing
not knowing what life is to become.
With the crash of the wave
my life crumbles, too.
And what now?  What am I to do?


Life is what you make it.  Live each day as if it was your last.

This was nice.  The final two lines rhymed, that was really good.  Reminded me Shakespeare.
Good images.

You somehow remind me of someone I know...I dont know quite how..but something in your writing makes me feel like I know you.  This was very good. I liked it alot.  Hope to see more of you!!

Awesome ending!!! I really liked the poem a lot. You wrote this really well.  

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

Somewhere out there a cow is laughing at you
