Remember that day
out in the sea.
The ocean sang to me,
and roared with mighty force.
How calming it was
to feel the breeze.
My arms were cold, yet,
not a goosebump in sight.
This peace was touching,
numbing, but in no way hurting.
Oh my, thought I,
Is this what it feels like to be truly alive?
I had the world at my feet,
Not a person in sight.
This feeling wasn’t anything like before.
Not a void of emptiness,
a hole of sorrow,
just a girl wrapped up
in the arms of the current.
Breathe, I said.
Can’t you feel that?
I closed my eyes,
and never turned back.
