Author's Note: For my third piece, I chose to write a poem. Even though I am not a poet, this piece should symbolize the hard choices and the temptations that we face in life. I really tried to have a conclusion, although it was difficult referring to a thesis. Hopefully, you see a good conclusion, that suits the poem.
Sailing through rocky waters
So numb they almost sting
Which way to go
Is there land ahead
I am lost
Hoping to find my way
In this huge sea
With good fish and bad fish
Which one will I be
There are rocky waters up ahead
But soon follows land
Will I be a shell that's cracked
Or a dolphin swimming freely
Sailing through these water
Learning things and finding my way
Through an array of troubles
I will fight the sting and remain uncracked.
I really, really love the word choice! Except, the short sentences kind of make me suspect rhymes, and since you didn't rhyme anything, it was kind of hard to read. I like the sea symbolism though... I totally get it! I think that's a really creative way to symbolize all the troubles roaring towards you like an in-tameable sea.... and I think that you ARE a poet....
