Poetry, memory

I took a chance 

I took some time

To go away

And clear my mind

Trying to stay afloat

Don’t want to drown at sea

need to make it to the shore

Waves crashing down on me

But how do I keep

From drowning in a memory

Drowning in the inside

Crawling on the sand

 laying on the shore 

Still I can’t stand

Waves crashing down on me

I’m still drowning in a memory
