Waters Of Your Own

9 1 2
                                    

There is an ocean in each
and everyone of us.
A never-ending ocean.
With waters full of complex
emotions and obscure feelings.

And yet, people still swim
in those depths.
Unaware of the danger
of unpredictable waves.
Waves of unspoken words
that can overwhelm them.

Drown them.

And only when they realize
that they are drowning,
will the weight of the words
that escaped from their lips
drag them down to
the seafloor of regret.
