Thank you so much for your help, it really means a lot! Here is another draft with some edits.
Sea of Truths
The girl was set afloat
upon the sea of truths.
Into a simple boat,
of dreams and timeless youth.
She insisted she'd be fine
as she raised her scarlet sail.
It would be okay in time,
all she needed was a gale.
She did not even scare
of storms that had begun.
She never said a prayer,
she never tried to run
The waters were all rough,
they grabbed her, pulled her hair.
the sails began to luff,
she began to see despair.
She said that she was fine,
as the sea took in her ship
The water looked benign,
But the sail began to rip.
And yet her voice stayed strong.
As she shouted for some help
But she then heard the song
Of voices in the kelp.
Nothing drowned the sounds
of sirens in the distance.
They whispered tempting things,
And she lost all resistance.
She took a breath of air
And it would be her last.
Water brushed her hair,
touched dead hands of the past
The waves tossed golden curls
lulling her to sleep.
They filled her eyes with pearls,
She fell into the deep.
