The Blue in the Midst of an Ocean of White

I fight the blue monster-the one that overtakes me like a wave in the ocean. 

He comes out of nowhere.

Pulling me away-towing me under.

It is dark.

It is cloudy.

I struggle.

I fight.

I beat at the waves.

He slaps me in the face.

I gasp.

I spit.

I gag.

Over.

Under.

Helplessly, I surrender.

I am washed inland.

I see some light.

I cough.

I breathe.

I laugh.

Once more I am saved from the blue monster. 

I am safe for one more day.
