    WhiteCaps & RipTides

     I'm buried in the sand
    The work of my own hand
    My head is sticking out
    Askin', what's this about?

    The tide is rushing in
    I'm hoping I can swim
    If only I could stand
    I'd be a better man
    I'd be a better man

    I know
    Whitecaps crash
    Rip tides pull
    It happens fast
    And it goes
    Whitecaps crash
    Rip tides pull
    It happens fast

    The ocean of my time
    Swallowed ground I thought was mine
    Water with a sting
    Whitecaps crowned as kings

    The ocean teams with life
    But deep is dark of light
    Under I can't breathe
    Above brings relief
    And I can't reach

    I know
    Whitecaps crash
    Rip tides pull
    It happens fast
    As it goes
    Whitecaps crash
    Rip tides pull
    It happens fast
    It happens fast.

    I love your analogy here! Especially the verse "The work of my own hand", which sets the mood for the context of the whole poem.

    I don't know, maybe i'm just to tired and have alot on my mind? I still don't have much to say which is odd cuz I usually always have alot to say. However though, Lately it feels as if I'm stuck in quick sand and as soon as you dig your way out a little, a breeze blows by and your stuck even farther then you were and no matter how hard you try, you fail to get out... Refusing to give up because of your stubbornness telling you to keep going, but you get so tired and angry, you keep fighting... We just gotta keep digging our way out and swimming to the shore no matter what.... Unfortunatly!

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
