Quiet Ocean

Quiet was the ocean,
So calm, silent and still.
A young girl set out sailing,
To go and test her will.

Pain indulging screams and shouts.
Her voice, it kept on failing.
She hit the reckless waves.
This put an end to her smooth sailing.

Her eyes forever shut by God.
Can't even see her hand.
She tries to keep on swimming,
But she just can't get to land.

The water cold and numbing,
Slowing her even more.
In the middle of the ocean,
It's a never-ending war.

Her feet just kept on kicking.
But they had not long to last.
The water's getting violent.
It's taking control fast.

One last time the waves engulf her.
She takes last breaths of air.
And although she keeps on trying,
The water doesn't seem to care.

Her instinct's telling her to breathe.
Her mind is telling her to wait.
But she can't hold her breath much more.
Her instinct's winning the debate.

She opens her mouth and tries to inhale.
But only salt water comes in.
It crushes her lungs with a harsh bleeding pain.
But she keeps on trying to win.

The water overcame her,
But she was not yet dead.
She was still alive to witness,
The horrid pain that quickly spread.

Another 2 minutes of torture.
Had passed in what seemed like a year.
She witnessed her own body dying.
Like a bystander frozen with fear.

In suffocating misery,
This young girl drowned.
And searches didn't help her.
Cause she was never found.

Again quiet got the ocean.
So calm, silent and still.
Another soul it waited,
To come and test their will.
