The roaring waves

The roaring of my heart

Both racing

Rushing

Both fighting for my life

These waves are all I see

Horrifying at first

But once you realize what’s at stake it doesn’t seem so bad

In the middle of these roaring waves

With my heart beating faster and faster

My kicking legs sinking

Slowing

But the urge to fight speeds

The urge to sink sinks in my heart

What have I done?

It was a petty reason to crash our ship

But I don’t deserve this

Kicking harder than I have kicked before

Heart beating faster than it has ever beat before

I fight

I fight these waves

With the urgency to survive while the others didn’t

I kick

I kick

I swim

I-

Freedom at last

never thought it’d be like this-
