High Tide
Burdens compound,
threatening to
overwhelm,
with the changing
of the tide.
Pressure builds,
dragging you under.
Without
solution or compromise,
words garbled and
lost,
you begin to sink…
each one you try to
utter a bubble burst.
Echoing in your
mind… as distant thunder.
A storm rages
above,
covering the world
in darkness,
you consider giving
in.
Yet you struggle
and push against the waves,
only getting beat
back in their relentless fury.
From inside, a fire
comes alive,
with each labored
breath,
the spark of
determination.
A final effort out
of desperation,
And break
through...
