Captivated 

It's this old familiar feeling That one where my feet are sinking And the waves begin to crash into my thighs I embrace the cold waters. I throw my feelings with the wind. This makes me feel at one with the sea. One with the world. The beating waves collide with the beat of my heart. My soul lost in the sea. Lost with the world. The once lustrous sun that had warmed my heart and brought color to my checks slowly fades into the depth of what lies before me. Coldness creeps in all around me. I remain still in the water. Fear begins to flood my mind. I am entirely alone. The waves have not knocked me down yet. And the sands holds me steady. I once thought these tiny rocks made me strong. The grains of nothingness that no one could see. I pretend that it's mighty me. Nothing hurts me. See these scars on my skin. But, never see the tears that fall from my eyes. The waves hit and tear at my fragile skin. My soul thinks it's remained unscratched. Silly girl, rocks can be broken. The sand has reached my lips. I realize the waves crash above me. Hold my breath, trying to free myself from this grip. I finally see the truth. That when I turned my heart to stone, the waves made pebbles out of me. I exhale. Please, just set me free.
