Little Lost Pieces Of Me

Rip Current

Grief

comes in waves
not the calm waves that make beauty of the sea
It will come like a rip current
Never expected, Sudden and Rough.
it will hit you in the chest and toss you around with no warning
It's just you and the immense suffocating rush of emotions you were unable to prepare for
it hits you so fast you don't have time to reach the surface to breathe
and once it approaches you can't fight it
you can't force yourself back to the surface
like in a rip current
you have to hold your breath and swim deeper out to sea
you can't force your way out of it
you have to accept it while it's there and allow it to pass
