Waves of despair

Waves of Despair 

As I fall in the drowning sea
To this whirlwind mystery 
I reach for the sun 
Beaming amidst the sunset dream
Clouding my lungs
As I breathe drops of 
Leftover from pain 
Residue ashes to diminished hopes
Scattered bones to from body blow
To my emotional figure 
I tiredly tread the water 
Gasping for acceptance 
Choking from spewed words
Torn between sudden screams
And hidden expectations 
While I hold back my tears
To my confused silence
Tidal waves of despair 
Wash me back 
To the drowning sea
Drifting away
I drown
