stormy waters

You knocked me down, a blow to the head
kicked in the teeth, left for dead
was it something said, or the look of my face
was I to blame for this constant abusive chase

Flooded thoughts corrupt the minds peaceful rivers
like the tidal wave of pain that you deliver
I just wish for calm seas, no need to beat me
to soak in waters that ease the stings of this world I see

You shoved me down, under the surface I spluttered in resistance
the shimmer of light in the distance no help in this instance
the darkness clings cold and wet, to seep in to the skin
mixed with the blood and tears, the murky depths I'm drowning in

Like a boat with a leak, the anger filled me to the brim
a constant churning whirlpool of choppy thoughts tore me limb from limb
try to plug the gaps but the pressure keeps growing
as the storm clouds amass to wash the decks, already overflowing

Thunderous thoughts fill my mind, a blinding flash of pain as I'm back in the fight
another crash as the rumble keeps coming, the blows rain down, blood fills my sight
I'm sinking as the cracks start to show,  a boat with nowhere to go but below
under the waves where the rains cant go, I hide away wait for the sun to show

The waters calm, the storm moves ashore, I patch up the cracks
no longer under attack
rebuild my shell, the damage is deep but the seas are still
so in time ill find my island paradise and live in the hills

Thanks for reading.

Peace & Love.

Kyle.
