The Other Night
Ignoring riptide warnings, acting foolishly brave.
Swept away by the current and pounded by the waves.
The stakes are high; a matter of life or death.
Doing battle with Poseidon, gasping for breath.
Finally surrendering to fate, I submit to the the tide.
Giant swells lift me up and down like a roller coaster ride.
Treading water out at sea, hoping rescue will arrive.
Growing tired from the effort, not sure I will survive.
This is what it feels like when I become crippled with fear.
Asking for reassurance, I guess I’m just “too insecure”.
