The oceans tide is breaking against these walls
Sifting through every layer of hope and angst
Pouring dreams into the abyss
Where there is no light
It is blatently pitch black
There is no way out of the dark.
As the tide grows higher by the afternoon hour
These bones grow weaker
You can't stand against the undertow
It's impossible.
The waves just tear you down
Dragging you into the middle of the ocean
Where you are alone, with no one to save you
There is no way escaping the sea of mazes.
Therefore it is best,
Never to swim against the tide alone...
Author notes
Every one goes through times when they just dont know how to go against the flow or how to get through it. But when you have someone that is there for you, someone that will always have your back, you'll never be lost in those situations again.

I think you have a good concept here, "the ocean will consume you" is a great idea for a poem. I think it could've been written a little less...cliche. But it's a good idea. I also think this has a good length, short enough to keep the reader from getting bored but long enough to say everything you need. Thanks for entering.
