Distracted
Anger in the shallows
Distracting me from the beast
Who lies patiently in wait
For my fear to overcome me
Flail and reach out for nothing
I just didn't want to know
I'm running away, again
Into the warmth of numb
Struggling, kicking
Drowning, sinking
Dragged down by cement blocks
That I won't let go of
Frailty succumbing
The ocean falls on a crumbling cliff
Standing firm and strong
Rigid till no one's looking.
