Cold envelops my every inch, every orifice
MAN OVERBOARD
Colossal swells rip me from salvation
Pleas for rescue swallowed up in thunder
My beacon vanishes over the crest
Unending ruthless rollercoaster
Salt and vomit burn my throat
Spirit mirroring the darkness drenched horizon
Soon all that I am will cease
My stench, that of the rotting sea
My flesh, melting meat in the mouths of the natives
My bones, a school's alabaster playground
My soul, foam floating aimless
Hoping to cling once again to the shore

It Only Took One Minute.......
It only took a minute. I was sitting at the computer in my office when the phone rang. I picked up the receiver and then laid it down my desk as I went to find the student who the call was for. Within seconds I was back at my desk, ready to resume typing, when I heard the student yelling obscenities at me for listening in to his call through the handset that was still lying on the desk. Sick and tired of the lies he was spewing, I was up running down the hall, ready to kill him. By the time I reached him, I had calmed enough not to hurt him, but as I turned back towards my room, I knew that I couldn’t go on like this any longer. The decision was clear. I had to leave.
