Understanding the Sea...


I’m drowning in a sea of endless waves and can’t seem to come up for air... It’s not that I don’t want to be free of the waves but for some reason I am too far gone to ever reappear...Some people just can’t seem to rise no matter how hard they try to break the surface... I am one of those people... It’s alright though, I have mastered the art of not breathing that it comes second nature to me to simply ignore the suffocation... I have hopes that when I can take my first breath it will set me free of the waves... But until then I will keep being pulled along on this tumbling sea that seems too big to conquer… One day I will breathe again… That will be the day I have finally understood the sea and the day when the sea has finally understood me...
