WaVeS

It seems to be washing over me, fluidly
Slowly, persistently, indifferent.
It captures my courage,  with out hesitation.
I find myself stunned.

Waves of fear, denial, guilt
Surround me, ravage me, quietly
It terrifies me, unquestionably.
I find myself swallowed.

I reach unsuccessfully; foolishly
Crashing downward, quickly.
It embraces me, whole
I find myself smothered.
