Rip Currents

Folder: 
Personal (Hope)

The currents change

and I don't know

if I can save myself

as they rip through me.

 

The waves crash hard

against the rocks,

and I realize somehow 

I've lost sight of shore.

 

I hold my breath,

sink into the depths

and hope when I reemerge

I still have purpose.
