Dear sea you seem to know me
My hesitations,
My insecurities,
My secrets,
And with your waves you taunt me
Entangling yourself in my regrets.

Dear sea you hypnotize me
Your peaks,
Azure swells,
Your depth,
With your seductive dance you call me,
Through hesitation I hold my breath.

Dear sea it's you that mocks me,
Your banter,
Your finesse,
Your flow.
You tease my feet that yearn to jump,
Knowing they aren't prepared to go.

Oh sea, you've been beside me,
Through tides,
Through storms,
Through shine.
Though somewhere in our voyage,
You stole something that was mine.

Sea, you stole my strength.
You bashed,
You stung,
I drowned.
Your waves took me in,
Your waves took me down.

But dearest sea, I still hold one secret.
One truth,
One desire,
One stake.
I hold within the power to rise,
To overcome your breaks.

So sea, rise I will.
Ill struggle,
Ill push,
Ill strive.
And although you took me under,
I don't regret the dive.
