Bearer of Bad News
April 8, 2021
Brown blotches of birch wood choked the ocean
I dithered to conceal my enhanced fears
I could not believe I was still alive
As skin turned blood into very painful tears
God's glorious grace touched my fingertips
I pondered over the impeccable feat
I applied this as a motivation
In order to combat the scorching heat
The Atlantic's aggressive ambition
Made me question why I should fight the sea
I decided to fight for the lifeboat
Catching the waves that stole my family
I knew that I couldn't do it alone
So, I prayed and resented the birch tree

This poem was inspired by the book "Life of Pi".
"Life of Pi" is a book about an Indian boy who is lost at sea and is trying to survive on his own. I was inspired to write this poem because I can relate to some of the mental struggles that Pi went through during the journey.
