Dolphins and Sharks

This is a poem that I had to write for class that I sort of fell in love with. It's about someone not knowing who to trust in their lives, and that slowly ends up killing them from the inside.

The waves dance and play

During a stormy winter day

The world grows slowly cold and dark

And now we can't tell the dolphins from the sharks.

Terror fills me as I drown in the sweet liquid called life

Being pulled under by a mysterious specter

My sorrow continues to fester

I don't know who to trust

Because I can't tell the dolphins from the sharks.

Author's note: Hey guys! I have finally decided to upload poetry, so please, reviews make the world go round!~~~

I wrote this for class (and I hope the teacher doesn't think I'm suicidal for using this poem), and I based it all of a line from a song called "freefalling", ehere they say, "We swim with the dolphins and the sharks, but now it's getting dark, we don't know who to trust".

I believe that this poem is about someone who can;t tell the bad people from the good, and it slowly tears her apart from the inside, ending with her suicide.

I would love to hear y'all's perspective on this poem, because I have a couple of ways it could go. Just PM me or comment if you want to take a go at trying to interpret it!
