Thalassophile

I started at the shore;

Frolicking around

Sandcastles and starfishes,

And evident footsteps

That made me feel bound.

I got into the water,

'til it reached my knees,

Excitement at the

thought of new beginnings,

Happy dreams.

The shore is quite far now,

I'm floating to Horizon's end

Adrenaline still coursing

my bloodstream; hazing

my common sense.

Troubled, troubled waters,

Meet my rose-filtered glasses,

Filled my panicked

Tired state, and try I might,

lest I lose pride and scream for help.
