The Wrong Lake

By: Lexi Hunt

What if I was born into a different body of water

Bounded together

By the thousands of souls that set before my eyes

The glistening pupils of only one perspectives

Shaped and altered by hundreds of forces

In which they choose my destiny; my future

My future is defined

By the sustaining occurrence

Of the antagonists breakthrough

On my heart

But what if my heart is shattered

And that’s what is holding me back

The perspective was shifted by another heart

A broken one

That tore me apart

Suffering a drought

Of spinning thoughts

like a tsunami just hitting shore

That left me stranded in the body of water

I wasn’t meant to drowned into.
