Analysis of What am i
My heart is,
Just like a beach,
It got a sea point,
Where in strangers,
Skate through the waves,
And get to ride,
Till the sun,
Kisses the water goodbye,
After a long,
Fun and glamorous day,
I witnessed them leave,
And the tides,
Washes away,
Their foot print,
As the moon and stars,
Accompanies,
A new day,
As mine shores,
Awaits new prints,
And as mine tides,
Awaits new skaters,
But
Deep down,
The bottom sea,
Lies a great fortune,
Which remains uncovered,
There lies a ship,
Lacking the captain,
Not just any,
But,
Captain of the Caribbean,
Who lust after,
The riches of the sea,
Who knows,
How to handle,
The guardian mermaids,
And the fish,
Who's destiny,
Is to own,
The riches of the sea,
As some rides,
The waves of its anger,
He lust after,
What lies in the deep,
What am I
For my heart is,
Just like a beach,
It got a sea point,
Where in strangers,
Skate through the waves,
And get to ride,
Till the sun,
Kisses the water goodbye,
After a long,
Fun and glamorous day,
I witnessed them leave,
And the tides,
Washes away,
Their foot print,
As the moon and stars,
Accompanies,
A new day,
As mine shores,
Awaits new prints,
And as mine tides,
Awaits new skaters,
