If I had a penny for every time you made me feel worthless, I'd be worth something by now.

Ocean

I was drowning.

Instead of getting me to the shore,

You chose to pour more water,

More and more.

I tried to swim,

But I was tied up in your lies.

I tried to scream,

But I was scared of goodbyes.

It took me too long,

But I held the courage,

I made myself strong.

And that was when I chose to drown the ocean.
