Lone Hostage
As the shore recedes back it pulls you in
Taken under by force, you splash and scream.
Ripped of your dreams, transformation begins
Spit out as a prisoner to the sea.
Beaten down, still trying to stay afloat,
The current takes an unexpected turn.
Gasps from waves in surprise, there comes a boat.
The expectations and standards all burn.
Suddenly the chains break, the ocean cheers
The waves surrender, the tide becomes calm.
The captives break free; cast away their fears
Those demons fled away and now are gone.
You can’t pretend to be someone you’re not
An individual, not a robot.
