Destined

A blood red ocean is all I can see,
Endless on the horizon and crashing around me.
Drowning in sorrows, choking on grief,
Devoid of any emotion; it's just me
A bleeding wound is killing me
And nothing can be done to set me free.
Caught in this trap,
Little hope of escape,
I cannot run,
This must be my fate.
We are destined to die as we are destined to live,
Though faced with a choice, and an answer to give.
The power of life, we hold in our hand.
With a flick of a switch, it all can end.
Decisions to affect the rest of our lives,
Tests to take and possibilities to be tried.
Only time can hold the truth
Of the universe and that behind our youth.
Stars will explode as blood does drip,
Onto the sand with a steady tick, tick.
Waves swelling around me, I fall to my knees,
Destined to drown in this blood red sea.
