Hey, Robert here (as the username suggests), this is my first post. I'm 18 and I've been writing for 2 or 3 years, just casually. I thought I'd sign up and get some feedback, so here goes...
Calmer Waters
I haven't frozen over in some time
No one's been walking all over me
Nor have any raging winds
Whipped me into the wrong shape
Instead I rest careful and calm
My depths are shallower now,
Far too shallow to drown myself in
But yet, unexplored
By my own admission
Sometimes I watch people gaze into me
And wonder if they guess at what lies beneath
Or do they see their familiar faces on me,
Am I a conduit to what they are?
At night I stir a little
My waves grow restless for new people
To dive into me and drift awhile
I am all too aware of my fish, my own little swimmers
And where they want to go
But this state is better
My stillness is fine by me
Things are better now.
