Quinn scribbles tainted emotions across thin layers of white paper. But to who? To someone who blinks once, sees her, and blinks again-just to make her disappear. To someone who sees her as a symbol of the ocean. To someone who thinks the ocean is disgusting and hideous, filled with trash and pathetic wandering fishes. To someone who believes that Quinn needs to be a size zero to be labeled as 'beautiful.' If she isn't, why in the world will anyone care to love her? She's disgusting. Worthless. An enormous sailboat that makes the world sink. But how long will it take until she sinks herself?

#183 in poetry// Sage claims the sea is her limitation but it's also her voice. She feels weak without one, but she'll learn how a voice is more than just a sound, but a scream that can't be heard.One boy will teach her how deafening the sound of silence can be. Cover by @polefox-
