Letting Go

The Sea

The Sea

The sea as dark as tar, the stars as bright as flames,
Feeling a thumping in my chest like a ticking time bomb about to burst,

A breeze tickles my neck and makes my hair stand up,

My toes sink into the soft, moist sand, the water drowning my feet in the freezing, icyness of its black cover,

I can hear a whisper of a voice calling out my name, drawing me in with its sweet melody,

Three steps closer, the crashing, thunderous waves splashing up to my knees,

Two steps closer, I'm almost drowning in the sea,

One step closer, darkness, everything is dark and I can barely breathe,
I see my last breath escape my mouth as I sink farther down, everything stops, all the noise that banged in my ears, the heavy feeling in my chest, everything, is gone... my thoughts turning into mush, theres one final thought that I say to myself every day for a long time,"Goodbye",

I awake on the dry, cool sand and the heavy dark clouds, theres something wet on my cheek, tears, I look back out to the sea and start hearing the whisper in my ear, louder this time, I get up and go towards the dark, vast sea,

I stop, something had grabbed my hand, I turn around and see someone who is even brighter than the sun, they pull me away from the constant everyday stagnant rhythm of the waves,
They bring me to a blissful little area in the woods and point to the sky, theres the sun,

I looked back at them and they smile and sit next to me, I did not find my sunshine, it has found me,
And I have finally been set free from the depths of-
The Sea

Everyone has rainy days but only you can make it a thunderous storm or a glorious rainbow.
