Tsunami

A tsunami crashed over me without warning
It’s been a month of them
Wave after wave
Tossing me to and fro
Battering me from all sides

Just when I think the sea of life has calmed
Another wave hits
Knocking me down
Pushing me under
Battering me from all sides

I’m treading,
Waiting for my lifeboat to pick me up
Holding on for dear life
Praying that the waves will stop
Battering me from all sides
