Sonnet

by Saffron Walters
 

The ocean swirling inside of my heart
The dark mass hidden and growing within
My head, confused, it's tearing me apart
Life full of pain, what's to gain from this sin
 
Evil reigning, darkness is expanding
How will I ever escape? Will I drown?
Sadness strikes, death comes. I am crash-landing
Will I ever erase this troubled frown?
 
But through this battle, I am gaining strength
And through this darkness, I am finding light
With my renewed hope, I can run this length
And navigate my way through the black night
 
Confusion is welling up within me
While my salty tears mingle with the sea
