The friend I can be

entry picture

 

And as I sink beneath the sea
I feel the force beneath my feet. 

Dragging me down to the deep abyss
I fight the force and push to release. 

The chains so tightly wrapped around me

I know I can reach the surface to be, 
the grounded child who can watch curiously. 

I stop and I wonder which wave threw me and remind myself of the friend I can be.

I kindly reach my hand out to me and save myself from the almighty sea.

Excellent Stuff as always, Emer. I may well have done your line break in the second to last stanza and added one to the last stanza but a powerful piece never the less. Brill (:
