Hello dear friend,
She takes a sip to the beginning of the end.

She doesn't want to be like them, but she is scared to not.
So she pretends.

All the words begin to blend,
She feels empty because she is starting to want to be like them.
She holds up her drink, and pretends again.

Life feels surreal.
Like she isn't really real, yet what she does will remain forever.
So she takes a shot, so she can play pretend again.

Now she is like them.
Dancing all over the men, later she sleeps with one of them.
Waking up, regretting once again, she insists on pretending to be one of them.

Let's just play pretend she says to him
And they f*ck again.

She whispers to herself, "I don't want to pretend, yet here I am again."
"I am just like everyone else, playing pretend."

The water calls to her
like a sailor to the sea
The water calls to her like a seal who swims free

The waves crash upon her
and she releases all her worries and fears
to the deep blue sea

As she pushes on the ocean floor
She rises above and looks at the starlit sky
Smiling and breathing in the salty air
Bowing her head to the full moon

Laughing, knowing she is not alone
Splashing and playing like a child
Hearing soft whispers
Telling her she is a Goddess of the Sea

She sinks deeper, letting the water cleanse her
For her soul was made of sea foam
Here her heart will always lie
Knowing she was born a mermaid long ago

I know the secret the grass whispered to the stems who told the leaves who told the flowers, that told the bees.
The bees then whispered it to the trees who told the wind who told the sky that told the sun and later that night the moon.
The moon then whispered to the stars that twinkled in unison, as I looked at the night sky,  I whispered, "What is the secret of life, dear Universe."
And then I heard, with my heart, "I am you." <3
Which I whispered to the rich earth.

Small moments are brief but the sweetest~
