The shore pulls me into its beauty
Ocean for miles is all I see.
Feet first
Then waist
Neck deep in the salty water
It pulls me in its embrace
It holds me
It holds me so tight that I start to panic
Pushing and pulling the current goes.
Trying so hard to gasp for air. Iā€™m drowning
In my own despair.
Knowing that this is it
The end for me
Everything goes black
When I feel as If I am done.
I felt secure.
I open my eyes, feeling the hot sand
Embracing me instead of the salty liquid that almost ended me.
Looking around, I see this warm yellowy figure
It looks at me with the desire to help me.
I finally get up, not looking back.
Until it completely disappears into the distance
Now left alone with my thoughts
I try to tell myself that Iā€™m alright
I am alright
