The shore pulls me into its beauty
Ocean for miles is all I see.
Feet first
Then waist
Neck deep in the salty water
It pulls me in its embrace
It holds me
It holds me so tight that I start to panic
Pushing and pulling the current goes.
Trying so hard to gasp for air. I’m drowning
In my own despair.
Knowing that this is it
The end for me
Everything goes black
When I feel as If I am done.
I felt secure.
I open my eyes, feeling the hot sand
Embracing me instead of the salty liquid that almost ended me.
Looking around, I see this warm yellowy figure
It looks at me with the desire to help me.
I finally get up, not looking back.
Until it completely disappears into the distance
Now left alone with my thoughts
I try to tell myself that I’m alright
I am alright
