I am writing this letter to the ocean that flows, but washes my fears away quickly.
An ocean that is never still, but moves slightly back and forth outer protection.
A big body of water from a storm, crashing and destroying all that’s around it.
I chose to open my mind at a very young age, towards the horizon that I could never even touch or get close to.
Ocean you are the place where life mistakes go.
I give you the bad that grabs me down.

My fears hold me from the many things that I want to accomplish in life.
I’m scared to express my passion in poetry and introduce it to the world.
I’m scared that if I share my talent someone might not like it.
I want to overcome this fear and one day become one unique poet.
I want to be heard. I want someone to enjoy listening to the sounds that are flowing gently off my lips, creating a fierce but different position.
With this abyss fear that stands and absorbs my soul, blinds me from the more outstanding opportunities in life.

The abyss of my fears gathers and settles.
On my boat I started to paddle backwards, as a mood came over me and I didn’t want to achieve.
My thoughts pushed up on the shore almost drowning, gasping for dear air.
My surroundings seem silent on this boat and all around me is just water.
I started pushing forward and making effort.
My options are everything and it’s my thing, my fears are strong, but inside my robust character throws punches at anything that is not as firm as I am.
This deep immeasurable opportunity for life shows potential shows difference even if I’m standing in a crack underneath rock bottom, crystals shine from my desires.

I am a young individual at the age of 17.
I am a female that is pursuing her education.
I am a senior in high school transitioning into college.
I am a poet of creations in the making.
I am neither my fears nor someone that is devoured by her problems.
Letting go of my fears is not my challenge but my focus, and helps me chase my future where only I can capture it.
As this bottle floats on top of the ocean it washes away all my fears.
It brings a renewal of my future and talents.
I dream my boat is not floating anymore and I’m putting in all the effort, but as my boat cracks and breaks apart, I swim towards my line, my goal.
It’s awaiting.
