I love and am loved by
Strong
Wonderful people
Whose arms have lifted me
And held me
With such fierce devotion

I'm afraid I will never
Fully repay them
For saving me
With love, kelsey

3:30 AM
tossing, turning, screaming
in my sleep
dreaming of a past life

4:00 AM
eyes open
chest aches
my stomach has turned itself inside out

4:15 AM
make some tea
sit
breathe

4:30 AM
cry uncontrollably

5:00 AM
the tears tell me to start writing again
With love, kelsey

One morning you will wake up
And all the monsters
You've been keeping in your closet
Will be lying in bed with you
With  love , kelsey

Eventually
When I look in the mirror
I want to see the girl
You call "Beautiful"
With love, kelsey

I have built
great stone walls
around me

And each time I consider
Bringing someone in
I picture
Watching them leave

So then I slam
the door shut
And throw away its key
With love, kelsey

I'm walking on the shore and I feel the cold fingers of the Ocean pull me closer and closer into the waves. Up my legs, around my stomach, encasing my shoulders and neck. My eyes meet with the horizon one last time before the water rushes over and swallows me.
My name means "of the sea" and "ship of victory."

The Ocean has always felt like home.
