Swept Away

The challenge like a crashing wave
Catches you when you least expect
Knocks you straight to the ground
The under tow sucks you below
Low tide passes and high tide comes
Beaching you back to this reality
Stained and broken you continue on
Protecting only those around you
Selfishness is an unknown feeling
You throw yourself in harm's way
Like a pawn in the game of chess
First to go and first to die
Going forgotten for so long
Another storm comes and you are remembered
Only to be forgotten once again
History has proven to repeat itself
High tide sweeps you out to sea
Only to spit you back onto land
Day after day there you lay
Waiting to be comsumed once again
The twinkle in your eye grows dim
You say you can't take another day
But there again you lay
Waiting to be swept to sea
What if the tide suddenly stopped
Would you lay there for death
Would you find your inner strength
To stand and walk away on your own
Without the crutches given to you
The support of those around you
Could you give it all up
Step out of the chair and walk away
Give it all up for one
The one swept away everyday
Enveloped in your sea of tranquility
The one who finds peace in your pain
Swept away everyday only to return
To the same spot of vulnerability
Open arms welcome the pain
And you search for a source to blame
Underneath all of this mess
Lies the source of the pain
The one who allows themself
To be swept further and further away
Until land is no longer visible
Until all hope is lost
You'll then give up the battle
And drown in your sea of despair
