Meant To Be Something

Another empowering poem meant to illustrate second chances and self realization.

Was I meant to be nothing? Or was nothing meant to be?
My heart filled with sorrow, I kicked and I screamed while drowning at sea.
With my head above water, the terrible waves yet again pulverized me.
Plunged beneath the ocean, I sank further never to come back, my whole life before me then all faded to black.
I opened my eyes, I now laid in the warm sun on a sandy golden beach.
In confusion I rose to my feet, I questioned myself, how can this be?
Did I not just thrash for dear life before drowning at sea?
A voice entered my ears and I turned around.
I didn't recognize his face, I stayed quiet a moment not making a sound.
I walked over to thank him but as I drew near, there was a bright flash of light and he disappeared. So grateful I am because now I believe. I'm meant to be something. I'm as blessed as can be.
