Waves Poem by Angel Weak

This feeling crashes over me like a wave it swallows me whole
Knocking me this way and that
Trying to beat me to its will
It floods my mind with images of things I would like to forget
And actions I don't want to repeat
The tearing, dripping, and pain are the only things I see
The only things I know
I try to fight being swallowed whole
There is always one more wave
Carrying one more image
One more action
One more regret
One more scar to rip open
One more wound to bleed anew
This feeling crashes over me
Like a wave it swallows me whole
