I Am An Ocean


My emotions come in waves.

Much like the ocean, I feel deep shades of blue.

Blue is a numb color, but the ocean, much like myself, is so full of life.

I feel ferocity.

I feel peace.

My emotions change with the wind.

A small breeze of encouragement, I'm a shark.

I show no fear, no relent.

Take away that breeze of encouragement, I'm a turtle.

I crawl back inside my shell.

I fear, I relent.

If only I could become the ocean.

People call the ocean a beautiful and mysterious thing.

People call me bipolar.

My emotions come in waves.

The same waves that I call home.

Hi :) I'm Ari, I'm 17, and a senior in high school. I'm in a lot of extracurricular activities, including theatre and academic decathlon. I'm pretty passionate about my love for lions, pizza, Demi Lovato, and Paramore. Also, I am hella gay. But that's totally okay!
