Sea of life

Choppy waters,
Stormy skies,
A house of cards,
Built on lies.

Salty lips,
Swollen eyes,
A fallen moment,
Forgotten lives.

Shallow breath,
Muffled cries,
A stable pain,
Shallowed ties.

Constant fear,
On the rise,
beating heart,
Spurious guise.

Drowning woe,
So unwise,
A wake up call,
Underlies.

No excuse,
Time to try,
Get a grip,
hold on tight.
