The Sea That Stole My Joy

by Rishyab Nair aged 11

The raging water splashed around,
its menacing presence shaking the ground,
miles of land and coastlines of sand,
giving me all the joy that I could’ve ever had

But the cruel, malicious sea took that all away
as I try my best to keep my anger at bay.

The seagulls and birds still are chirping with joy,
don’t they see the atrocious ocean took away every girl and boy ?

Now as I sit, writing my rhyme,
I hope to see my family, one last time.

Hope is drowning in a pit of sorrow,
and I hope that I can survive tomorrow.
