Ocean of Thoughts

By Kayana Sharma

In the depths of ocean,

I fought to stay afloat as my soul sank deep.

Solitude wrapped me around me, bringing

a strange peace in the chaos of my thoughts.

Slowly, I picked up the broken pieces of the past,

Determined to rebuild my future at last.

The waves pushed, the tides rose high,

But I stood stronger, my eyes open wide.

I came to understand there was no one to save me,

And no matter how I felt,

The healing had to come from within.
