The ocean opens up <br />the ship rocks side to side <br />hold on tight to the railing <br />just to make it through the ride <br /> <br />the sea sweeps you away <br />up and down the crest and trough <br />you don't know if you'll make it <br />the storm is being so rough <br /> <br />rain plasters shirt to skin <br />saltwater fills your lungs <br />the rain rips at your flesh <br />overboard you are flung <br /> <br />you'll fight tooth and claw <br />to deep your head above the water <br />you have not done anything wrong <br />yet you will die a martyr<br /><br />Tori Beals<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/storms-at-sea/
