two smiles on either shore,
an ocean of tears lies in between
how does one even swim across-
all i can do is drown!
softly treading water
escaping the shards of lost dreams
sometimes my heart shattered
and there are some that i have broken
there is much kindness that i do not deserve
and yet much kindness is due to me
in this mist of shifting identities
how do i navigate-
all i can do is lose myself!
