No Emotion

by

Emma - Louise Braiden

I see, stretched out before me
A timeless horizon and a rolling grey sea
Soft white peaks form in the distance
Temporary specks of waves to come
Erupting in a tangle of foam and power
On the soft, beige sands

A sea-gull, walking indignant
Red eyes see all
Cracks of lightning hit the water
Thunder overhead, anger engulfs my soul
I glare, bitter at those around me
How dare they be so free, and alive with life

The sea, it is inanimate
It does not feel or breathe
I wish to join the sea,
To merge into its depths, forget this life
Such a long, painful journey
Inevitable emotion, never required

As i become part of the ocean, free to drift
To flow with the currents, i am no longer me.
