Soul in Turmoil

By felicity0444

The rough seas of my soul stir
 as I wade through
this crazy miracle called life.
The words in my mind
that I can’t let out,
for fear of losing
what’s dear to me.
Would anyone understand
what really happens inside of me?
What goes through my head
when I see the selfishness that surrounds me?
Why don’t people see?
They think they see
….they are blind.
Selective sight
 of what they want to see.
As the hurricane nears
I feel my waters begin to boil
and wonder what they will say
when my storm hits their land
and it’s their soul in turmoil.

    Ending three lines with "see" in such close proximity drives me crazy. The whole middle section of this piece seems under cooked and don't do that much for the narrative/metaphor of the poem. Sorry to be a critic :/
