My body bobbing in the ocean.
I'm just going through the motions
The devotion of my entire life
To never releasing these emotions.
So I kept them trapped inside.
They only intensified.
Leaving me gasping for air.
As the tide
collapses
on top of me.
I breathe in the salty truth of this ocean.
Reveals all the lies
My walls break apart
Leaving me without a shield for my heart.
A subbed broken cry
Rings out
From between my teeth and tongue.
And I can finally feel airflow through my lungs.
