Barnacle Survival

Small rock in torrid water
Strong against the sea
The wind blows relentless and wet
Screaming out your secrets

There are no hands to hold
Here you are alone
Youve faced everything before
Why should now be different?

Steadfast and grounded
Cold and calm
Waiting patiently
For the storm to break
Or begin

Isn’t that what life is?
Beginnings and endings
With no middles
Just foreplay and the cigarette after
Everything else is hazy

The seagulls squawk
And you yearn to understand them
And wish to be like they are
Free and light
Blown happily
By the cold gale that turns your ears blood red

A language everyone speaks
Has now become foreign
And you want to be everything
That comes to them so easily
Knowing somehow this isn’t what you waited for

The stench of the sea
Burning your senses
Tart and fishy
Heavy yet dull
Escaping isn’t a option anymore

Trapped in a cage you built yourself
But the walls of your foundation is crumbling
Cracks emerge
But you cant fall
Because too many barnacles cling to you for survival

Why doesn't anyone else comment much? That's some pretty cool imagery. I won't try to analyze it but this line made me chuckle:

yeah i like that chunk too
but thats how i feel

people dont comment cuz they feel poetry is too personal
either they dont wanna hurt my feeling by telling me it sucks or they dont want people to know they actually took the time to read it

^^ that's true about poetry being very personal. Is the poem about being warn away by attrition of the sea? In this case, the sea being the world? Sorry for asking, i'm just curious.

yes sea and all the creatures in and about it = the world

its mainly about trying to stay the same when everyone is changing, and then not knowing if its worth holding on to what you have or just throwing it away to fit in

sheena i love you to bits and pieces(K)<3

never compromise what you beleive in just to please others.
You are a beautiful individual,and please stay that way.I wouldnt change a single thing about you.
You need to realize that you are one of a kind,and if people cant learn to accept and appreciate that...erase them from your life.

Reading this was so refreshing,I thank you.:)
