The sun here is shining,
The sea here so warm.
It takes me away
From the eye of the storm.

I can no longer focus
on the wrong they have done.
A long, painful battle
it seems I've finally won.

The sun, shining bright
Is toasting my skin.
Banishing darkness,
and any sign of sin.

The sea here is cleansing,
So warm and so kind.
It washes away any remnants
Of sadness those girls left behind.

MaybeI'm crazy,
And maybe I'm wrong.
But the waves on this beach
Pull me with a force so strong.

In this place, I am safe.
No longer just one
Lonely young girl
All alone in the sun.
I was going through my writing from school this past year and I found this in my final anthology for Creative Writing class.  I don't love it, but I love what it makes me think of.

I closed the lights to prove to myself
Maybe I could suffer more
MaybeI could reach and tear my limbs to reach the shore
I only closed the drapes
Because I know the light will still whisper
In its uncanny way
And undoubtedly it’s only my thoughts to see
But there’s nothing, in this void
Do you still wanna see?
Do you still wanna reach into this depthless sea?
That my words seem to drown in
Never to surface, never meaning to tell what I might feel.
