Waves

Overwhelmed by thoughts so deep they could be put into an ocean

Of waves of shallow beliefs that leave me broken

As they wash up on shore.

More and more I demand yet as this plan unravels

I understand what it is that I can and can not handle.

Dismantle the empire of what I hold so sacred

Naked as I walk around fully clothed

Trying my best to escape the harsh wind that pierces through my bones

And down to my soul.

A moment of clarity is needed as this fog rolls in occasionally

With the hope that the sun comes waiting in the back of my mind

Define myself by my work ethic and grind

As I strive to survive this battle that has been going on since the age of 13

This constant feeling of hurting isn't for certain

But it's hurting as it causes an unreal pain

I remain intact

As I swim through the motions and prepare myself to react to what comes

Waves of emotions crashing up on shore

More and more of these waves will come...
