Under a million stars oblivious to the strength she sits on her car staring into the waves Crashing into the rocks lost in the waves she's tired of living another solitary day Days filled with emptiness nights full of rain hours spent in hopelessness moments drenched in pain She willingly travels outward engulfed by the sea each step deeper, each new wave slowly begins to numb her pain Soon she's floating in the darkness searching for a truth the sea protecting her now as did her mother's womb The raging waters around her ease away her pain cleansing her soul for freedom providing wisdom to gain She fights for the surface she seeks the moonlight her soul is burning her world seems right As her lungs fight for air her mind is finally seeing that what she was really fighting was the pain of only being The sea gave her knowledge that to be is just to exist that is more painful than what it feels like to really live The ocean gave her freedom the choice to follow her dreams it told her to start living and nothing is what it seems ©1998 Tiffany Wright Back To Poetry This page hosted by Geocities
