mom i love you.
my friends, my family.
my life.
myself.
im attacked by waves of love and emotion.
sometimes the waves pull me under...
sometimes they make me do flips under water and get sand in my hair as they drag me up to the shore.
sometimes the waves give me salt water and make me cry.
but
im
happy.
im ok.
sometimes i'm pulled out to the middle of nowhere,
forced to find new friends and move on.
sometimes i find sharks and sting rays in the water that hurt me.
those are the ones that made me stronger.
im not saying it's not hard to swim,
im saying the fight,
the tears,
the slapping of waves and dying for one
breath
of
air
is worth it.
im saying don't doubt yourself,
even when you feel weak,
like you're crumbling,
drowning.
you feel like there's more water in your eyes than there could ever be in the ocean that's drowning you.
you're wrong.
ive found my island.
ive found happiness.
ive found a family of friends.
im
at
peace.
no sharks. no sting rays.
peace.
