Confessions

What have I done?

My ship was steady but now sinks

The thunder roars, it’s laughing at me.

Lightning illuminates the black sky

I see to the depths of the ocean

Monsters swim beneath begging me to dive in.

Panic swells into my throat.

I feel as though I’ve lost my chance.

Water is flooding my boat, what happened?

It was calm, I was collected

From nowhere the storm surrounded me

It gnashed its teeth at me.

The fiery rain fell on my face

It burned me at the soul

I realized this rain was the reason for the hole.

It was seeping into my boat

I couldn’t make it stop.

There’s no hope for my little boat.

I knew I shouldn’t have come here

I shouldn’t have done this.

I saw the storm in the distance but curiosity kills.

Indeed. 

Curiosity will be the death of me.
