Out of Breath
I could almost feel the struggle, I could almost feel the air in my lungs;
But it dissipated.
I heard that the ocean was vast.
I heard she was beautiful, with white caps and golden sand.
But she hurt me. How could she hurt me?
I thought about it long and hard, I searched for an answer between my scars.
But they were red and angry, they held me tight,
They were adamant, nipping with a fiesty bite.
But I still searched and searched, for a beautiful girl that sat just perched
and ready to just leap, but all i found was bones and shreds, piled up in a heap.
I didn't give, and I looked for her tendrils of brown hair,
but I couldn't find her, because she was drowinging in the ocean somewhere.

Thank you for your observation, it was on point. It is a poem about finding self.
