if you ever need to
remember who you are
just start with the basics
something simple
your favorite color
is blue
just like the ocean
it reminds you
just like the tides,
you have highs and lows
but can always reach
the shore.
salt will wash
into your wounds
but the rays of sun
will cleanse you,
as the sun sets
and rises.
you will adjust your sails
when the wind blows
in the opposite direction
that you wanted,
you are strong
and fierce
like the waves
that crash and never
fail to let their sound
be heard.
