I don&#039;t have ambitions or desires. <br /> Being a poet isn&#039;t my ambition, <br /> it&#039;s my way of being alone.<br /> ~ Fernando Pessoa ~

I have a good life, however
There are times when all the bad
Comes crashing down all
At once, like a wave.
And when it all blows over
And washes up on shore,
Another wave comes to destroy
Me, it doesn't matter
Whether the saltwater
Death is large or small,
It rips me apart and burns the
Pieces.

I really liked how your poem is easy to relate to and how you can really hear the tone and feeling in your words.
