Tiny feet on a sparse beach, reflection of soft sunlight
         A journey begins, water stretched for millions of miles
               No rush to leave the warmth of the sand,
         The hourglass dropped the last grain,
                Like a newborn seal I take the plunge,
          The wet cold quickly gives away to bliss,
                 I reach for my sails, Youth navigates my way
          Fearless, Reckless, I venture unchartered
                 Holding strong against the first storm,
          The tranquility of the morn’ warms my soul,
                 But I could no longer quell,
           the pirate in my heart, demanding captives;  
                 the weight of the ransom was too much
           I capsized, in a fierce storm of self-hate,
                  my lungs fill with devil’s brew
            I’m drowning, once, twice, over, and over,
                   until I couldn’t drown anymore
is when I was plucked onto the quiet shore of my home’s heartbeat.
              My heart split into two
         In deep dark waters, I’ve given up on me
              The Journey continues
