Waves

Crashing hard

Pounding endlessly

Drowning his confidence

Immersing his soul

Stormy seas

Rising, surging

Against his will
Choking, smothering

Having believed in 

Ego's promise
Now swimming in

Skepticism, apathy

Rising currents churning

His dream adventures

Feverishly drowning in

Fate's undertow

His nightmare continues

Arresting morning light

Eclipsing his courage

Holding back his tears.
