Who am I besides spent sand?
Without a course floating without a purpose.
I only remember the ocean and all its pain.
I do not know how I look anymore.

The tides recede from their place
And it leaves me exposed to sunlight.
Lovely rocks stranded on the shore of the coast
Shining, they group up and join me.

Streams of memories rush to my mind
Feeding the water of my soul.
Breaking the dam that holds all my emotions
Making me feel my humanity.

Dragging myself with half-formed body
I feel a pain that filters from my bones.
But I do not reject it with tears
Instead, I accept it with a watery smile.

The ocean wants to stop me
Hide me in the depths of my despair.
******* the heat of all my joy
Removing my will to live.

But the moon retains the ocean with its force
Protecting myself from the darkness of my mind.
Instead of being excluded from my sins
The moon loves me for my faults.

The universe opens its arms to give me a home
Giving me a sanctuary to escape all the pain.
Although I want to get lost in the nothingness of space
I must live in the world in which the past me fell in love with.

Stars and galaxies that shine in the dark
They give me a reason to continue living in this cruel world.
