I return to the ocean
To wash away my sins
A moment to reflect
And find calm from within

My soul is in chaos
My mind is playing games
Where I am the loser
And life is mocking my name

These lies I believe
I hold on to them well
Not because I want to
But I also do can’t you tell?

It’s hard to sit still
I feel the depths of sadness upwell
A familiar feeling of drowning
I know all to well

Let go, let go
Is what I say
I’m afraid of the pain
It may bring for the day

Connect my souls to the sand
And look within myself
Ride the waves of emotion
And acknowledge my mental health

I am not okay
And that is fine
For many years
I have lived a lie

I’m exhausted I’m sad
And that is okay
It is only human
To feel this way

A moment of surrender
The wounded warrior must rest
It’s tiresome battle
Fighting the tide of life’s quest

Footprints in the sand
Will disappear with the tide
A reminder to let go
Of the plagues in my mind

For a moment I am lighter
For a moment I am less sad
Letting go is key
For a brighter future in my hand
