I have been stranded before.


The Island is a reflection of me.

I am a reflection of all my experiences.

Past, present and future.

What is the one thing I would take if I was stranded on an island?

I would take my experiences, whithout which I would not be

I have been stranded before.

The universe decides where i will go.

It rains on this island to help me grow

I could tell you that i would take my beutiful fiance or material things

Though the question is not intended for me to tell you what i want. 

Isntead, as a single reflection, I cope.

The island is a testing ground.

I know that I will be swallowed up whole.

And spit back out.

Alive.

I have been waiting to go.

I am ready to grow.
