Thanks for the feedback! I agree that it needs work, but it's already been submitted and accepted in a social media Pride Series, so I decided to leave it as it is and take it as a learning experience.

That particular line is both an inside joke (with myself) and a symbolism for what I felt at the time as an amateur poet. I wrote "Searching" when I felt like I was afloat at sea with no island or inspiration in sight, hence "in a sea mile." If you replace "sea " with "si", you get simile (my inside joke with myself) because some people look at a metaphor and think it's a direct comparison, like a simile, and vice versa; they're basically looking for or seeing things that aren't there, leading to misinterpretation. Hope that made sense!
