Fishing

Pretend I'm on a little fishing boat
I'm surrounded by soaring high cliffs
and a few entries for boats to pass,
but it's a good place to get crabs that hide here
for it being a good spot, I certainly get myself in a pinch somtimes.
Literally.
Sometimes there will be two ships coming in through the entries,
and here I am, this little single human out on a fishing boat
providing only another obstacle for the ship captains.
It's awfully frightening for me as two ships try to merge while
avoiding little me.
If I make efforts to communicate with the captains,
and try to row steady, I can let them pass smoothly.
But as their gone, there comes the waves.
The waves run counter parallel
and strike my little fishing boat.
The boat is swaying back and forth
and each time it sways it scoops a bit of water into the boat.
So again, I try to row steady and hold my calm.
I can here the crabs crying for me to put them back,
back in the ocean so I can continue to accomplish nothing.
It's so tempting because the boat is creating it's own body of water inside,
and I just want to give up,
but I did find a good fishing spot,
and the ships have passed,
and the waves may be getting smaller, it's hard to tell in this little cove.

Lonely

You don't understand what lurks in the silence; 
it's darkness stalks me. 
I can hear the gnashing of its teeth, but when I turn to look there's nothing there. 
Can't you just keep me company? 
I've made it so far into this nightmare, I just want to see it come to an end. 
But it will never end for its just a flashback haunting my every thought.
Can't I just close the curtain on it?
Is it better to be inside a tent by a hungry bear where you cannot see him or to be outside the tent looking him right in the eye?
If only it was actually there,
something I could face.
Until a remedy appears I'll just go find a way to drown it out.
