Falling, then flying
Screaming, or sighing
Living, then dying
Laughing, or crying
Im lost, no clue where I am going
Caught in Bermuda triangle, my fear showing.
Engines failing, sirens wailing, life flashing, and time slowing.
What will become of me, not knowing
Relaxed then manic
Stratosphere or Atlantic
Insignificant then gigantic
Technical or mechanic
Can I land, or am I doomed to crash
Will it last an enternity, or end in a flash.
Can't cope, lost hope, need rope,it's time to dash.
I close my eyes brace for impact, SPLASH
Drown then swim
Bright or dim
Me then him
Optimistic or grim
Never surrender, you must keep on fighting
But death can be very, inviting
Don't blink, Can't think, just sink, never reuniting.
You forgot that its my destiny I am, writing.
Begin then end
Foe or friend
Break then mend
Begin or end
Screaming, or sighing
Living, then dying
Laughing, or crying
Im lost, no clue where I am going
Caught in Bermuda triangle, my fear showing.
Engines failing, sirens wailing, life flashing, and time slowing.
What will become of me, not knowing
Relaxed then manic
Stratosphere or Atlantic
Insignificant then gigantic
Technical or mechanic
Can I land, or am I doomed to crash

Can't cope, lost hope, need rope,it's time to dash.
I close my eyes brace for impact, SPLASH
Drown then swim
Bright or dim
Me then him

Never surrender, you must keep on fighting

I loved this. It's rare (at least for me) to read poems in this category and end up not only feeling empathy, but also a dash of hope. You do a good job of conveying your struggles, but also drawing a fair bit of attention to the light, once things get better. "Never surrender, you must keep fighting..." is telling. You'll get through your oceans. You just have to surround yourself with good people however you can, and most of all, believe in yourself to keep going. Good luck, and I look forward to more from you!

It really feels great to hear that esspecially after putting alot of work into comparing the anxiety of love to crashing a plane in the ocean.I put more about the situation than I usually do but I think it added to the power of emotion behind it.
