• Journal Entry

  I am forever standing in this sea.

  Feeling it circle around my ankles.

  Almost unaware of water's potential to rise.

  Until it prohibits my movements.  

  Weighing me down.

  My efforts becoming an unwelcome labor.

  Willing me not to resist.

  Threatening to envelope me.

  I entertain the thought of allowing it.

  Sometimes I do.

  Once I go under the fight grows long.

  Drowning.

  Lately I have been the stronger adversary.

  Mostly through denial of the other's strength.

  The sea will only ebb when I triumph.

  The water receding once again.

  But always present and waiting. 

   

   

  The Sea of Failure and Worthlessness.
