Ocean Strong
The sunrays are beaming down, brightly illuminating the sky.
Sand keeps wiggling its way in between my toes
The waves keep swooshing and swishing
Seagulls swoop down in flocks, in search of edible morsels.
The wind blows through my hair
While I gaze into the horizon
With an examination of internal reflection
The chilly tide jumps onto my feet.
Traveled miles and miles to escape the things that crushed me
Like eroded sand--worn down.
Traveling miles does not extinguish the pain
Though the burden on the heart will be at ease one day.
I cannot change my story and heartache
But I trust that everything happens for a reason.
You learn to bounce back from adversity.
You learn what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.
Life is one big ocean
With rough, strong, engulfing waves
Which sometimes knock you down
