The Islander

By Daphne

I opened my eyes Everything around was dry I realized I didn't know where was I I looked up and started to cry The sky looked like it was seven Though I'd hoped that I was in heaven Because the sky was a blazin' This place was nothing I'd imagined Stucked on an island with nowhere to go Stormy seas are rising as the land goes low I ducked in my cave as the waters started to flow In to the very place that wasn't supposed to be cold Awashed, I lay a thinkin' Why can't I just die while the plane was sinkin' Why must they wait till I'm in this island of stinkin' And leave me here to rot a wastin' And just as I thought I was going to drown The water with a sudden started going down I crept up and looked out and took away that frown For what I saw got my head going round The place called out to me like never before All things sandy were glittering on the shore I stepped out of the cave unto the shining floor This place was beautiful like never before Now I sat pondering Should I be staying here and living Or should I start planning on escaping My thoughts couldn't stop running I decided I needed to go home Back to a place where they had phones Back to a place where I needn't be alone Instead of being in a place where I only roam How and when to get back I had no clue I prayed to my angels to tell me what to do I slumped on a rock and took off my shoe And my socks and shorts cuz I had to go to the "loo" It was then that I saw a ship from afar Damn it looked like a small tiny car I waved and waved but it was just too far You know, the huge sea was just too vast So here I am stucked on an island Things around me have never been so silent I long to go home and start livin' So now I sit planning on escapin' I know I will get home one day I just have to keep thinking along the way This piece of meat won't decay Not here in this place anyway

I really liked how it made me feel in position of the speaker! It was a good idea for a poem. To sum up, I liked it.
