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
