Element
I sit alone near the water
It's calm, but something cries out to me
Gazing at the stars above
Something is pulling at me
My watch chimes midnight
I stand to look at the horizon
Dark, but still lively
I had to decide
The land or the sea?
The me or the stranger
The Earth...it calls out to me saying to be
The person I want to be
The water...it says to change myself
I walk towards the water...I can hear different whispers
Drama, gossip, preps, parties, popularity...
I stop to gaze the murky water that was lapping my feet...it was like a cold...cold something
The Earth screamed!!!! It rumbled and shook
Begging me to stay where is was clear, normal, natural!!!
Air or Aqua?
I felt something in my hands
I look left...I look right
A giant line of my friends, ...my true friends where smiling at me
But what were they doing?
They were all facing away from the water!
My decision?
Stay alive for another day
To breathe
To see
To tell
To stand in my own element where I AM myself
and not those who dove deep into the shadowy depths...

- I really like this; your metaphors are great though it could be a lot less obvious in what its about. The change of colors was a nice effect but not really necessary.
